A PLAY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN A TIME OF EXTINCTION
< What to do when faced with the end? In this monologue written by Miranda Rose Hall, we feel the vertigo of finitude through a journey through various times. It reflects on animal extinctions, on eco-anxiety, on the capitalist death drive. We question what it means to live in community at a time of extinction.
This project, which fits into what can be identified as ecodramaturgy, challenges not to take the existence of a theater building for granted. The electrical energy that illuminates the scene is generated on stage, in real time, through a mechanism created in collaboration with students from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, and is activated by a choir. A series of measured gestures, to be able to experience reality through the past, the future and the abyss.
The TBA hosts this show from the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, which is part of STAGES (Sustainable Theater Alliance for a Green Environmental Shift): a project with 14 European partners that considers the cultural sector's contribution to the challenges posed by the climate emergency, testing sustainable solutions for the creation and international circulation of shows. Partner theaters develop reenactments of shows by Jérôme Bel and Katie Mitchell with local resources and teams, without the displacement of people or objects.
