Shared Landscapes

Seven pieces between fields and forests

By Barneaud / Kaegi

How can we approach the landscape without distancing ourselves at the same time? What if art did not imitate nature, but allowed us to experience it?

Caroline Barneaud (Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne) and Stefan Kaegi invite their audience to leave the theatre and venture out into Berlin’s green surroundings. From early afternoon to sunset, seven productions by European artists will address the (re-)discovery of landscape. What relationships can we build, which established perspectives can we alter? Under the open sky, artistic interventions, performances, sound compositions, choreographies, media art and theatre will create a fleeting moment of a new kind of community as a performative response to the land art movement of the visual arts.
