Italian term or phrase: sulla scena terrestre
I am not sure if this is being used in a figurative or physical way, and if physical, what would be the best term to use?

Quando un lavoro non è solo naturalistico, con esclusivo interesse nella flora, nella fauna, nella geologia, allora esso irrimediabilmente trasuda di sensualità umana e sulla scena terrestre trionfano il suo delirio architettonico e urbanistico e mentale, il suo talento a rovinare e molestare, il suo grottesco impegno ad affrontare ed esorcizzare goffamente la morte e a occupare la giornata con impegni vitali e superficiali.
