Israeli soldiers dancing to global pop hits in the Occupied Palestinian Territories look like they are having fun, and there is always something entertainingly contradictory in watching army bodies circumventing the military codes. But the choreographic analysis of three viral videos from the 2010s reveals how dancing serves the Israel Defense Forces’ territorializing and necropower strategy.

How is the climate crisis viewed by workers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who reclaim recyclables on a garbage dump — a place long entangled with decay and death? The act of reclaiming waste is a reminder that it is impossible to understand the current crisis without considering its origins in the labor of racial capitalism and in the productivism that capitalism demands. Reclaiming requires staying with degradation, remaking a world that is seemingly always ending.

Whether scientist, politician, or theatre-maker, the challenge one faces in representing climate change is an accompanying epistemic crisis; it is contingent upon and resistant to legibility, and we cannot apprehend it in its totality. Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle poses a potential aesthetic and dramaturgical model for this challenge.

As the very first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic ebbed in the United States, a new production of Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring (1975) appeared online. Performed on Senegal’s shoreline, Dancing at Dusk resituates Bausch’s choreography within the beach’s formative histories of racialized violence, colonialism, and white supremacy. In this context, the performance also prompts considerations of the relationships between the enduring histories of racial capitalism and the futures of choreographic economies.

Now that decades-long efforts to convince diverse publics that anthropogenic climate change is real have largely succeeded, but efforts to avoid extreme climate change have not, what comes next? By understanding the performative nature of infrastructure, communities can bring critical and creative attention to physical structures and daily practices that compose normative ecological relations and cocreate more just and livable climates.

Maraji, a Nigerian humorist, performatively questions the lingering dominance of men in comedy as she brings humor to the everyday lives of Nigerians. Her work on social media draws audience attention to women’s role in society, shaping the future of comedic presentations in the African digital space.

The term “catastrophe” has a complex history that has become deeply embedded in Western, and increasingly global, cultures. So it is natural enough, when confronted by a phenomenon as harrowing as climate change, to employ the concept and its attendant connotations. But the lens of catastrophe often distorts more than it reveals.

Since 2019, the lecture and discussion series Burning Futures: On Ecologies of Existence at Berlin’s HAU Hebbel am Ufer has been exploring the significance of environmental and climate destruction in the context of contemporary theatre. Combining positions of eco-Marxism and -feminism, black studies, and new materialism, panels examine political and cultural dimensions of the apocalyptic discourses that accompany current ecocatastrophes as well as possible ways out of the socioecological mess.
自2019年以来,柏林HAU Hebbel am Ufer的讲座和讨论系列“燃烧的未来:关于存在的生态”一直在探索当代戏剧背景下环境和气候破坏的意义。结合生态马克思主义和女权主义、黑人研究和新唯物主义的立场,小组考察了伴随当前生态灾难的世界末日话语的政治和文化维度,以及走出社会生态混乱的可能途径。

Abstract:A Durational Performance with the Sea (2013–2022) is a series of nine site-specific performances and video artworks that activate the public on personal, local, and global scales in conversations about deep time, embodied experience, and sea-level rise. Sunde stands in a tidal plane for the full tidal cycle (12–13 hours) as water engulfs her body and then reveals it again. The public is invited to participate in all aspects of making this work. Photographer Geoff Green captures a 30-second slice of time taken during Sarah Cameron Sunde’s 12-hour, 39-minute durational performance with the sea, on 14 September 2022. www.36pt5.org.
