Art in an era of ecological emergency

What is the role of performing art in building an ecological culture? How the emergence of new art formats connected to nature helps to change perspectives and shape positive change among local inhabitants? How to « use » art to educate, spread a message and raise awareness without instrumentalizing artists? And how create positive values and move away from guilt and towards a more proactive stance?

A three-way conversation between:

> Tora Balslev, Emerging Artist of Metropolis/KIT (DK)
> The partner James Moore, Curator-producer of Østfold International Theater (NO)
> Andreas Goritschnig , Architect and cultural transformation designer and the Associate Citizen of La Strada Festival (AU),
