Shared Landscapes
What if performing arts provided a counterpoint to the privatisation of landscapes, a new common, a collective experience of nature based on time and attention?
Performing arts institutions with common ecological and social concerns – Bunker and Mladi Levi Festival (Slovenia), Culturgest (Portugal), Festival d’Avignon (France), Tangente St. Pölten – Festival für Gegenwartskultur (Austria), Temporada Alta (Spain), Zona K and Piccolo Teatro di Milano Teatro d’Europa (Italy), Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne (Switzerland) and the artistic collective Rimini Protokoll (Germany) – gather to experiment and reflect on performing land-art, to de-urbanise and decentralise their institutions and practices, to widen the audience, to stimulate resilient art works and formats, and to open new paths for international cooperation.
Curators Stefan Kaegi and Caroline Barneaud conceive an artistic project in which institutions, artists, scientists, audiences, inhabitants are collectively invited to approach a landscape, the green zones around cities: Shared Landscapes.
They commissionned European artists to create 7 pieces for meadows and forests and compose an entire day of performing land-art for the audience. Shared Landscapes are being created with local teams in Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Spain – and Slovenia, where the Shared Landscapes will be presented from 22nd to 25th August during the MLADI LEVI Festival 2024.
