Performing Landscapes

Join us as we present Performing Landscapes at Sygehusgrunden in Holstebro!

A nomadic community of artists sets up camp in the Danish landscape.

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

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 our day and create change. Rather, art must take up residence in nature to investigate how we set new values ​​into play.

Performing Landscapes is both a performative interpretation 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.

You can buy tickets now for all the art experiences at the festival.
