AB The presented paper examines the depiction of non-human worlds in the theatrical productions about mushrooms, namely na houby (Chemical Theatre, 2021) and Houby (Handa Gote, 2008), which address the relationships between the realm of fungi, nature, technology and humans. Both productions are addressed from the perspective of ecocritical and posthumanist tendencies in contemporary aesthetic and anthropological discourse, particularly Anne Lowenhaupt Tsing's anthropological consideration of the subject and Timothy Morton's concept of the assymetrical phase of art. The paper looks for ways leading to the theatre of the new future - the Mortonian "future without us".
