This book addresses theatre's contribution to the way we think
about ecology, our relationship to the environment, and what it
means to be human in the context of climate change. It offers a
detailed study of the ways in which contemporary performance has
critiqued and re-imagined everyday ecological relationships, in
more just and equitable ways. The broad spectrum of
ecologically-oriented theatre and performance included here,
largely from the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Mexico, have
problematised, reframed, and upended the pervasive and reductive
images of climate change that tend to dominate the ecological
imagination. Taking an inclusive approach this book foregrounds
marginalised perspectives and the multiple social and political
forces that shape climate change and related ecological crises,
framing understandings of the earth as home. Recent works by
Fevered Sleep, Rimini Protokoll, Violeta Luna, Deke Weaver, Metis
Arts, Lucy + Jorge Orta, as well as Indigenous activist movements
such as NoDAPL and Idle No More, are described in detail.
