Defying solidification, theater is, by definition, not Matter (though it may matter, we hope). AntiMatter Collective is a Brooklyn-based theater company dedicated to the creation of unflinching new work that confronts the chasm between the transient and the permanent, the hysterical and the horrific, the squalid and the transcendent.
We make badass theater that you will enjoy.
