Die Tödliche Doris (The Lethal Doris) was a performance art and music group based in West Berlin from 1980 to 1987. Founded by members (born 1957) and (1958–1996), they were later joined by (born 1958), along with other collaborators. The group was known for their anarchic performances and a constantly evolving sound, deliberately moving away from organized music towards a style reminiscent of the Deconstructionist philosophical movement's approach to writing and text. Following the publication of the book "Geniale Dilletanten" (Ingenious Dilletantes) by one of the band members for the MERVE publishing house, which focused on French and German postmodernist/post-structuralist philosophy, critics began to associate that title with the band and similar artists.
