"""relating forests"", a collaborative project between TheatreFragile (Germany), Cultures Eco Actives (France) and Vitenparken BioArt Arena / NoBa (Norway), responds to the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and biodiversity loss by transforming our relationship with nature. The project responds to priority 3 of the ""Sustainability"" call and aims to raise awareness through transnational artistic engagement. With an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, the project focuses on reimagining the relation of nature and culture through explorations of imaginaries, European mythologies, and rituals. The 16-month project involves three institutions committed to sustainable development and four associated artists in the field of storytelling, mask theater, soundwork and performance. The approach aims to stimulate critical reflection on the human-nature relationship and to create emotionally and intellectually engaging artistic proposals. The project includes a creative online event in March 2025 with theoretical impulses and a focus on methodology, followed by regular artistic online meetings and three workshops in France, Germany and Norway in 2025 with aesthetic explorations in the forest and exchanges with local experts and inhabitants of the region. The workshops will be experiential, experimental, and responsive, encouraging interdisciplinary and intercultural exchanges in outdoor settings. They will be open for invited local artists and diverse target groups. Collective artistic proposals will be shared with audiences. The overarching questions revolve around exploring creative strategies amid climate change to rethink and resensitize to human-forest relationships and narratives.
Findings will be presented orally, visually, and in writing, thoroughly documented to capture insights gained during the immersive engagement with nature and culture and share this with a broad international network of both artists and institutions."
