“The weight of the world is heavy on my shoulders. I am both architect and witness of Humanity standing at the face of Extinction. The clock ticks closer to midnight.”

STRYKE Percussion presents ‘7 Minutes to Midnight’. Inspired by the symbolic Doomsday Clock, their 2024 production explores the fragility of humanity, the rise of power, and the enduring hope that persists in the face of impending catastrophe, narrated through the eyes of the ‘clock's creator.’

With the permission of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, STRYKE Percussion 2024 production pays homage to the historical significance of the Doomsday Clock, set at 7 minutes to midnight when first introduced in 1947. For a deeper understanding of the Doomsday Clock and its significance, we encourage everyone to explore the current materials available at the Bulletin’s website: https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/
