Abstract

In an era marked by unprecedented environmental challenges and the recognition of humanity’s profound impact on the planet, the intersection of theater and the Anthropocene emerges as a compelling and urgent subject for exploration. This conference publication, titled Artistic laboratory of socio-ecological homeostasis: Theater of the Anthropocene, seeks to unravel the multifaceted relationship between the performing arts and the epoch defined by human-induced ecological transformations. By considering the interacting possibilities of scholars, theater makers and the audience, this collection aims to illuminate the interconnected role of theater and science in interpreting, responding to, and shaping our understanding of the Anthropocene.
