Theater und Wissen. Pflanzenphilosophie auf der Bühne
Theater and knowledge. A philosophy of plants on stage

Summary/Abstract: Theater is characterized by a plurimedial realization of the text via language, gestures, light,music, etc. and by its collective production and reception. The construction of reality and the generation of meaning are based on the co-presence of actors and spectators. In her play Estado vegetal, Manuela Infante engages with the thinking of the plant philosophers Michael Marder and Stefano Mancuso and uses theatrical means to explore plant intelligence and communication. The paper explores the questions of how theater communicates and transforms the plant-philosophical knowledge.
