📍 Watch now to step inside Imhof’s groundbreaking performance!
March 2025 – Park Avenue Armory, NYC:
Underneath a red doomsday clock looming on a jumbotron, Anne Imhof invited audiences into her moody, high-intensity world with DOOM: House of Hope—her largest performative work to date.
A loose adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, the production transformed the Park Avenue Armory into a dynamic, immersive space where movement, sound, and visual storytelling collide.
With a cast of nearly 60 – including dancers, skaters, actors, and artists—DOOM blurs the lines between audience and performer. From cheerleaders and basketball players to a baby-punk band and two dozen S-U-V-s, every moment unfolds unpredictably, exploring themes of uncertainty, collectivity, and resilience.
Following her Golden Lion-winning Faust at the 2017 Venice Biennale, Imhof continues to push artistic boundaries, utilizing the Armory’s vast, city-block-long space to craft a raw, visceral experience. NYC VIBE sat down with the visionary German artist to ask – what’s next?
