“Rosa Luxemburg and I” aims to deconstruct the anthropogenic self through a Brechtian collage of monologues, satire, poems and prose/poetry to activate radical imagination towards new, revolutionary ways of being. Drawing upon climate sociology, political philosophy and literary theory this funny and moving "thesis in progress" is a porous and flexible combination of performance, research discussion and participatory exercises. In this piece, historical figure and socialist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg becomes a creative vector to reflect upon earth system damage, the capitalist status quo and eco-socialist potentials. It asks how can our individual "I" find its way to climate revolution and solidarity?
