Alicia Reyes - Music Beyond the Human

Our doctoral researcher Alicia Reyes talks about her work exploring what music means in a world which is not only focussed on humanity. How do we create a more equitable environment, and what can the otherworldly and half-organic shape of plastics formed over decades by the power of the sea bring to a musical and theatrical experience?  --- References: Donna Haraway - Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staying_with_the_Trouble Plastigomerates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastiglomerate 'Plastics of the Mediterranean' https://www.luftmeer-editorial.com/plastics-of-the-mediterranean/  by Matteo Guarnaccia and Teresa Fernández-Pello Heiner Goebbels - Aesthetics of Absence: Texts on Theatre https://www.heinergoebbels.com/heiner-goebbels/texts-by-hg/1568 Matthias Rebstock and David Roesner - Composed Theatre: Aesthetics, Practices, Processes https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/C/bo12313703.html 'Re/Making Plastiglomerates' by Allie E.S.
