REACCLIMATING THE STAGE (SKENOMORPHOSES) An Ecotonal Doctoral Piece in 40 Scènes, 15 Parergonal Writings and 5 Double-Postcards. From the perspective of mise-en-scène (staging), and correlatively that of the place and the practice of the metteur-en-scène (theatre director), this artistic research project addresses, examines and experiments on the question of the scenic/scenographic representation of a postnatural world, in climate transition, affected by global warming and moved by abstract data-flows, in a tangled web of storms, information, and algorithms. While lived and conceptual "time", no longer telically given as linear and chronological, is being anthropodecentered and, therefore, diffracted into an open plurality, the Reacclimating the Stage (Skenomorphoses) artistic research project takes the earlier notion of time as a raw material to reexamine, from an eco-scenic and research perspective, in order to transform the theatrical practice of its author and to trigger the latter’s specific contribution to artistic research milieu. By obliquely playing on one hand with memories of theatrical history of scenic internal modi operandi, architecture, and literature, and on the other hand with institutional requirements for doctoral research appearance, the project aims at repositioning the director's practice in a movement of transition of scenic thinking and imaginary through a series of artistic and research experiments, whose enactments and resonant redistribution are poetically at interpretative play in this exposition.

Somos una comunidad necrosexual que desaparece rapidamente. La tierra es nuestra momia. Estamos loca, pasional y ferozmente tristes, lamentando esta desaparición todos y cada uno de los dias, todas y cada una de las noches metiéndonos barro por todos los orificios. Somos una comunidad ecosexual que crece rápidamente, la tierra es nuestra amante. Estamos loca, pasional y ferozmente excitados y celebramos esta alegria todos y cada uno de los dias, todas y cada una de las noches, poniéndonos flores (de plástico, solo quedan estas) por todos los orificios. (Este manifiesto ha sido generado por imaginación artificial a partir del Ecosex Manifesto by E.M. Stephens and A.M. Sprinkle)
