Three solos by three generations of women; based on the life and work of the Australian ecofeminist Val Plumwood who survived a deadly attack by a saltwater crocodile. Be prepared to delve into a scenography in which humans do not play the main role. Can we find consolation in the horrific fact that we are food?

Intermedial Meaning-Making in Climate Change Theater

The text of a drama is part of literature, a written form of artistic expression frequently accessed in print. But dramas are usually written to be performed, that is, to become stage shows that enhance the meaning-making possibilities of combining media. Words, images, and sounds collaborate and merge in miraculous ways in the theater. What if this combination wants to affect viewers and listeners in ways that will let them leave the theater not simply as people that appreciate art, but as people that are open to perceiving theater as an intervention in social discourse and ethical debates?

In 2015, an X-ray scan revealed that beneath the layers of paint on Kasimir Malevich's famous Black Square hid a racist inscription. Even the supreme abstraction does not appear to be free of politics. Within the lines of a highlighted square, three black performers now turn this tension on its head, seeking an incantatory counterbalance to sharp binary oppositions such as light and dark, reason and feeling, certainty and uncertainty.
