Abstract

The goal of this interdisciplinary practice-based research project is to create a living archive of the transformation that cultural production is currently undergoing, using theatre and performance as sites of negotiation for an increasingly globalised public sphere. The impact of the project cuts across disciplines by documenting how we narrate and perform this present state of exception and how the emerging post-pandemic cultures intervene into our existing understanding of connectivity in the Anthropocene.
