Track listing

All tracks written by Anohni.

  • The title track "Cut the World" is a new song from Antony that was made for the play The Life and Death of Marina Abramović directed by Robert Wilson and starring Antony, Marina Abramović and Willem Dafoe.
  • "Future Feminism" is a spoken word track where Antony "discusses his ideas in a speech he made during one of the concerts. Addressing the effects of patriarchy on the global ecology, Antony explores the possibility of shifting towards feminine systems of governance in a gesture to restore our world."
