The paper discusses the concept of planetary action between contemporary performance art and political climate action. By focusing on the extensive assemblages of actions created by artists such as Khvay Samnang or Tomás Saraceno, it develops a planetary approach to performance. Between artistic and non-artistic actions, their historically and geographically farstretching infrastructures, and the interplay of human and non-human actors, the paper proposes a planetary politics that addresses the ecological catastrophes of our times on the bodily level of action and its relation to knowledge.

The concept of a “meteorological choreography” questions the boundaries between human and nonhuman actors onstage, calling for a broader engagement with the shift in human-nonhuman and nature-culture relations in the face of weather and climate catastrophes. Mette Ingvartsen’s The Artificial Nature Project, George Kuchar’s video series Weather Diaries, and the events of hurricane Katrina, reveal weather as historic, political, economic, ecological, geological, and meteorological movements in which human actions are radically decentered.
