Corvidae
I worked as a dramaturg for the visual theatre show Corvidae, by and with Marta Cuscunà. Supported by MUSE – Museo delle Scienze di Trento, I collaborated with the author by developing a body of research embracing environmental humanities, affective ecology and eco-feminist studies.
Such research lead to the writing of a script which gives voice to four animatronic crows debating on the damage that homo sapiens has caused to the planet and our possibilities to build new forms of coexistence during time of extinction.
