Doppelgangster exploded onto the world stage with Catastrophilia (2015/16); an incendiary year of performances, online videos and subversive political interventions.

California based environmental activist and research Judee Burr writing about Doppelgangster's TITANIC.
"What are Jack and Rose but faceless, recently infamous immigrants? Shivering in the cavernous cold warehouse (where they actually use a ping-pong table for “heating”), I could almost imagine shivering in the depths of a boat in third class, as Jack did. Or in the only class that little dinghys attempting passage from Africa to Europe nowadays provide: star-side seats, ocean view, exposed to the wind, and left to the mercy of storms, coast guards, and immigration agents".

"NTW SUMMERCAMP was a life changing experience...
An opportunity of a lifetime.
And also it was at the Girl Guide HQ for Wales,
which let me tell you has lots of old inappropriate Christian iconography, hunting paraphernalia and swastikas****, AND of course girl guides logos - All of which made for a totally incredible place to spend two weeks with 20 people I'd never met before / would become creative partners with / would glower at in the morning when we hadnt drunk our #coffee before ten am / would spend too many hours or not enough hours with each day / would experiment on new and challenging art with / would teach each other new methods of creative / would party with on week days because it is part of the 'process' / would sleep with in a single bed / and in the shower / and on the jumping castle."
"Tobi & Tom are a joy to work with. Urgent, relevant, inquisitive & playful"

Doppelgangster (DEAD) is an online series that seeks to Debate, Exchange, Address, Disrupt. Season 1 featured video reports and interventions from the UN Climate talks in Paris, COP21. This work was funded by Wales Arts International and was produced in partnership with the Climate Change Commission for Wales.
In July 2015 Doppelgangster developed its flagship production TITANIC at NTW's Summer Camp. The work was subsequently developed at Experimentica15 at Chapter Arts in Cardiff and was recently performed in Paris as part of ArtCOP21 with support from Wales Arts International. Further development is planned for early 2016. Performances will be taking place at Aberystwyth Arts Centre as part of the Theatre of Change festival. See some of the early development work here.
Doppelgangster is heading to Paris on 30th November to take part in ArtCOP21. Find out more about our activities on our website.
