Since 2015 Doppelgangster (UK/Australia) has created iconoclastic and experimental performances – responding to themes of class and climate crisis. Their current projects include work for unconventional spaces, intimate face-to-face encounters, online environments, and large-scale spectacles. Doppelgangster have been called ‘Wildly experimental and wildly entertaining’ (Daily Review), and ‘Theatrical saboteurs’ (The Age). 

They have toured throughout Australia, UK, and Europe; putting on shows from laneways to galleries; major theatres to back porches; from a bowls club in Brisbane, to a concrete underground vault in London, to Paris’ Grande Palais. 

The company is led through a collaboration between UK-based perfromance maker and academic Dr Tom Payne, and Naarm-Melbourne’s trouble maker and theatrical enfant terrible Tobias Manderson-Galvin, with a network of artistic collaborators, conspirators, and sometimes you.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners, the Yorta Yorta Nation and the clans whose lands cover the area now called Greater Shepparton, the Kailtheban, Bangerang, and Nguaria-iilaiam-wurrung. We acknowledge that First Peoples have never ceded sovereignty over their lands. This always was, and always will be, their country. We are conscious that colonial laws and practices led to displacement and disempowerment, and that they continue to do so with a profound and rippling effect. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and to emerging leaders. We value their vision and strength that enabled the continuity of culture and connectedness to country.
