Debate

04/03 talk after the performance with biologists Montse Bayés, Montserrat Garcia, Cristina Junyent, Isabel López, Carmen Mediano, Teresa Pastor, Mercè Piqueras and Montse Vallmitjana

This is the second section of the first part of the Understory project. Following in the footsteps of Intercanvi de cromos [Trading cards], the set designer Xesca Salvà and playwright Marc Villanueva return to Paramecis i meteorits [Paramecia and meteorites] (a co-production of the TNT 2021 Festival), and focus on Lynn Margulis, an American biologist who has changed our understanding of life, science and biology by extrapolating her knowledge of microorganisms on a planetary scale. From fungi to the cosmos, her theory opened the way for observation of the Earth as an enormous network of interdependencies and evolution, and as a process in which symbiosis rather than Darwinian competition predominates. Paramecis i meteorits [Paramecia and meteorites] is a theatrical journey between the installation and the immersive experience, with help of eight local biologists.

At the end of the first part of Understory on Sunday 3rd, there will be a discussion with the eight biologists who have participated in the research process. Understory 2 will be presented in June.

Understory is a synonym for undergrowth.
