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?
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 commission European artists to create 7 pieces for meadows and forests and compose an entire day of performing land-art for the audience. Shared Landscapes will be created in Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain with local teams.
A cross-disciplinary research program combining invitations to scientists and peer-learning sessions between theatre practitioners accompany the project.

What if theatres brought people together outside of cities?
What if art did not imitate “nature” but allow us to experience it?
What could be the theatre's ephemeral answer to the LandArt of visual arts?
