Abstract

This article, written as a puppet show, presents playfulness as a tool that can be used to formulate a new understanding of matter, following the elaboration of this concept by the philosophical movement ‘new materialism’. The relation between human and non-human, together with the boundaries that separate them, is explored through examples of contemporary art practices. The text is shaped in a theatrical and playful manner to test these concepts, considering both their potentialities and risks.
