transforming
anthropo(s)cene
The main actor of current transformations is not human, but the Earth itself has become a living stage that interacts with multiple entities. We analyse various forms of agency that create new interconnections and configurations of terrestrial and oceanic actors.
anthropos
is to be approached rather as a dynamic concept that evolves over historical and geological time and requires political investigations in Non-Western contexts.
scene
facilitates a wider understanding of theatre as an aesthetic framework for the interpretation of human and more-than-human lifeworlds and cultures. As the idea of the scene avoids universal application and emphasises the partiality of perspective, it also enables a shift from disciplines to situated knowledges.
sites of commonality
We collaborate with interdisciplinary scholars, artists, and students to redefine the concept of space and that of community. We will discuss the performativity of sharing, its transformative potential and the relationality of different actors: humans, animals, plants, rocks, oceans, rivers, inanimate objects.
anthropo-scenes
We explore the "entanglement of existence" that manifests itself in the form of extractivist landscapes, broken earths, wastelands, environmental temporalities, terrestrial networks, watery corporealities and many more (more-than-human) scenes.
