Summary
Drawing on French thinker Félix Guattari's suggestion that we need to link environmental ecology to social ecology and to mental ecology so as to articulate an ecophilosophy, This article argues for an ecocentric reading of space, place and landscape in theatre/drama/performance that articulates a continuity between body and space, reflecting upon the reciprocality or participatory relationship between character and environment. It therefore suggests that we connect the debate on space, place, and landscape to a ecocentric ethics, a linkage particularly relevant for our times, given that we are witnessing a widespread recognition of the interdependence between organic life and space that calls for the activation of post-anthropocentric ties to an environment that is also made up of non-human beings and entities.
