Synopsis: | The Ecocide Project seeks both to reflect our contemporary landscape of ecological catastropheencompassing animals, plants, and nature beyondand to generate new ways of thinking about the relationship between the human and the non-human. The Project is a long-term endeavor led by directors Fritz Ertl and Josh Hoglund, dramaturge Una Chaudhuri, and writer Shonni Enelow. Since January 2010, over the course of two workshops (summer 2010/NYU; autumn 2010/Invisible Dog), the Project's debut work, Carla and Lewis, has developed into an investigation of theatrical landscape, interspecies intimacy, and the boundary-shifting of becoming. Elsa, a New York curator, is haunted by the image of a Bangladeshi climate change refugee named Amina, and decides to spearhead an installation project in her honor. Corralling an artist from Bangladesh and two American artists recently returned from Berlin, she tries to find a way to express the global tragedy of climate change through Amina's voice and story. But the American artists, Carla and Lewis, two punk butterflies who hate to leave the house, have other ideas. Carla and Lewis is a story of mass migration, bodily mutation, and aesthetic transformation. Carla and Lewis's influences include Lee Edelman's cultural theory No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive, Marian Engel's novel Bear, Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Robinson Devor's film Zoo, Marina Zurkow's videos Slurb and Poster Child, and César Aira's novella An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter. | |||||
