Somewhere between a room and a memory, a woman named Dasha (Charlotte Rose Manning) fractures. Her body stays still, but her voice slips into the girl she was, the lover she failed, the mother she mourns, the rebel she tried to be. Ghosts flicker in and out like smoke. Desire, violence, shame, and tenderness circle the stage in bare feet.
With minimal staging and maximal emotional intimacy, The Anarchist unfolds like a fever dream, where identity is not fixed but felt, and the self is something you fight for, over and over again.
