The stories of the Earth have changed in nature and scale: we do not write stories to tell about the creation or the course of the world, but to avert its end.

Eutopia was born from the desire to explore a different paradigm of “doing together”, through a playful and multisensory approach. How can we re-construct or de-construct our “doing”? How to live together after all these months of isolation? How to coexist with the plurality of forms around ‘nature’ without denying our "being human"? Combining performance, installation and game design, Eutopia calls into question old biological, ecological and anthropological models to transform the theatre into a big action table. Around it, spectators are invited to a participatory experience whose results, always different, are the result of their own individual contributions.
Collective action, as fundamental as it is ephemeral, is used as instrument to delineate possible worlds that host narratives and visions in which the human and the non-human intertwine – to then recompose a jagged geography of multispecies landscapes in continuous transformation.
Eutopia privileges that art of telling stories in which human beings neither are the core nor play the role of intruders against whom ‘nature’ should be protected, and participants are involved, questioned and turned players of the non-human stories that arise from their action.
