This project has been financed in part by the City of Austin’s Elevate Grant Program.

Taking a slightly absurdist, wholly penetrating viewpoint, ANTHROPOCENE examines, through allegory, humanity’s tendency to put itself dead center at the expense of other life forms through surreal scenes at a beach, in a laboratory, in one disaffected young woman’s fevered monologue, at a family dinner table, and a hospital room.
