THESys Project
Through a process which entwines theatre and science, AnthropoScenes aims to make sustainable water futures a public matter of concern. It will develop performative formats at the intersection of transdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange through a close collaboration between the Theatre of the Anthropocene and the Einstein Research Unit Climate and Water under Change (CliWaC), a cross-institutional water research consortium in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.
AnthropoScenes will use collaborative methods such as participatory salons, theater pop-ups, staged productions and performances, digital and online platforms, as well as a grand-finale game show. The objective is not only to broaden the knowledge and experience base from which to co-produce sustainable water futures, but to engage a wide range of publics in Berlin and Brandenburg in the transformations of nature-culture relations in the Anthropocene. The novel and unique approach will be continuously evaluated and aims to be transferable to other fields of social-ecological research and beyond.
The project is funded through the Berlin University Alliance, a consortium of the four major Berlin universities – Freie Universität Berlin (FU), Technische Universität Berlin (TU); Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
