Understory


In 2020, we started Understory with the desire to bring the perspective of the microscopic world to the stage and listen to other stories, not necessarily told by humans.

Bacteria that live without oxygen and breathe gold, cells that change gender, organisms composed of more than one individual, extraterrestrial fungi, or plants from other worlds. Together, the five pieces that make up Understory invite us to adopt a new perspective on what we do not see or understand, approaching different ways of explaining it: from scientific discourse to popular traditions; from colonial narratives to alien contact.
