But whether viruses are alive, the character of Nathan tells us in “The Catastrophist,” doesn’t matter. It’s uninteresting, a question of semantics.
Rather, what’s interesting is what the co-evolution of viruses with organisms can tell us about how life begins, both here and in other star systems, Nathan says in the digital world-premiere commission, a co-production of the Marin Theatre Company and Round House Theatre. ....
