The pan-European project "Shared Landscapes" saw nine artists create seven works around the theme of humanity’s relationship to nature. Performed this month in the countryside of southern France for the Avignon theatre festival, the series will tour Europe over the coming year. RFI spoke to one of the artists involved: Ari Benjamin Meyers, an American artist and composer based in Berlin, whose music invites audiences to reflect on climate change.
Curators Caroline Barneaud, of Switzerland’s Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne, and Stefan Kaegi, co-founder of the German theatre company Rimini Protokoll, began approaching artists about three years ago with a view to putting together an ambitious al fresco project mixing performance, art, theatre and music.
