A nomadic community of artists sets up camp in the Danish landscape<\/strong><\/p>\n

In August-September 2025, you can experience the intensive festival format Performing Landscapes across the country, where a nomadic community of 30 artists presents newly created mini-works over one to three days in 10 very different landscapes. You can experience works in different formats \u2013 walking performances, participatory workshops, performative installations, rituals, etc. \u2013 and everything is created in close dialogue with the characteristics and conditions of the local landscapes,<\/p>\n

Performing Landscapes has its roots in an artistic practice where nature, on its own terms, becomes an active co-creator and agent of change in a time marked by ecological collapse. Neither the big city nor the village is sufficient anymore if we want to challenge the dystopian tendencies of the time and create change. Rather, art must take up residence in nature to investigate how we put new values \u200b\u200binto play.<\/p>\n

Performing Landscapes are both performative interpretations of the landscape and the landscape itself performing in its own right. Beautiful horizons, old city gardens, but also industrial excavations, polluted soils and the depletion of oxygen in the fjords are the framework for the artists.<\/p>\n

Experience, among others, Tora Balslev’s vulnerable performance walk, which seeks to connect the materiality of the body and the landscape; Sisters Hope’s strong and sensory silent walks; Astrid Randrup’s collection of beautiful, rusty pieces of iron that come to life; Madeleine Kate McGowan and Lucie Cure, who give voice to the red-listed birds; Alex M\u00f8rch, who amplifies the resonance of the landscape; Sarah Lee Armstrong, who connects folk traditions with the rituals of rave culture… and much more.<\/p>\n
