Our projects are guided by the interest to engage with a site and its non-human and human protagonists on a long-term basis, bringing the arts and sciences together in order to explore their entangled narratives.
We are living in the time of the sixth mass extinction event, the manmade climate catastrophe, the polluting of the oceans and the impoverishment and destruction of ever expanding parts of our human and non-human world. But we are not only confronted with the crisis of our earth systems, we are also in a crisis of perception. The power to act is not anymore exclusively human but nature itself has become an actor. Human-beings are confronted with the task to acknowledge a network of human and non-human actors in order to reject an illusionary exernal, neutral point of view.
ANTHROPOS EX proposes to tackle this crises of perception with the means of transdisciplinary storytelling: making non-human actors the protagonists of stories, we join the efforts of arts and science to narrate their agency, history and 'social' relations, enmeshed within a wider network of actors that make up our world.
Thereby, 'theatre' becomes not only an artform, but a perspective which can offer non-human protagonists a stage, a story and situate them within a specific site. This perspective allows to redistribute the agencies of protagonists, stage and audience, and thus to shift our perception of agencies in the world. Using this approach, we are collaborating with many artists, scientists, researchers from various disciplines as well as institutions in order to realise formats such as sound workshops, visual art exhibitions, movies, theatre performances, talks and workshops.
