Shakespeare's Cymbeline: Ecodramaturgy in Action

Cymbeline in the Anthropocene is an intercontinental network of seven environmentally committed theatre companies. Each one has created a site-specific production of Shakespeare’s tragi-comic romance, Cymbeline. Their common goal is to uncover past and present ecological values in the play’s vibrant range of stories, emotions, and terrains, and to adapt them to local environmental conditions in the hope of opening audiences’ imaginations to new ecological and biospheric horizons.
