CÓMO CONVERTIRSE EN PIEDRA

MANUELA INFANTE (CL)

Furthering the speculative exploration begun several years ago, in the works Realism and Estado Vegetal (at FIT in 2017), Cómo convertirse en piedra furthers the task of envisioning a non-anthropocentric, non-humanist theater. This is, to counter the modern notion of human- ness as the measure of all things. The concept of “the human” has served to sustain and justify significant exploitations and exclusions. Not only towards nonhumans, but also towards hu- mans considered less than human. A non-human theater is a critical endeavor, but also a speculative practice with other forms of organization, other forms of politics, by means of which we try to enact a kind of decolonization of the theatrical practices from human centered and human modeled thinking.
