What role does theater play in the fight to corral climate change and avert catastrophe? Not the one we think, suggests eco-dramatist and scholar, Khristián Méndez Aguirre in this essay–the first of a series on eco-dramaturgy.
The climate crisis is an ever-present reality and this article from Alice Stanley Jr. is still relevant seven months after its original publication on HowlRound. After a week of news agencies covering the climate crisis from the Amazon’s waning ability to be the world’s carbon sink to the wildfires ravaging the western United States with smoke reaching New York City, this production by Capital W feels as timely as ever for theater as a whole to consider.
