An essential reference for anyone working on ecological theatre.
Woynarski’s book turns the concept of “ecodramaturgy” into a comprehensive framework for thinking about theatre and performance in the age of the climate crisis. Its greatest strength is that it treats ecology not merely as a “subject” but as an approach that transforms how the stage produces work and how it relates to its audience.
The examples that make the relationship between human and non-human beings visible on stage were especially inspiring for my own work.
