Odd Extinction
This paper shed lights from decolonial studies, Quantum Field Theory, and the Performing Arts. I call into question the very definition of the Anthropocene and the relationship between humanity and the environment towards a metaphysical level of extinction. In an attempt to break down a traditional understanding of the 'void' through the relational aspects of performance and politics, my research question is elaborated as follows: How can the performing arts apply the deconstruction of time, space, matter and the void, offered by Quantum Field Theory, as dramaturgical strategies to address the climate crisis?
