ARENA FOR A TREE Venice – an Art Intervention by Klaus Littmann
On July 13, the Wigwam Club Giardini Storici Venezia, in collaboration with ECC Italy, organized the event “IN AQUA SCRIBIS | BIODIVERSITÀ E IMPERMANENZA.” After a tour of the garden at Spazio Thetis, participants visited the “Arena for a Tree,” shaded by the leaves of a bald cypress. To enrich the experience, performer Oreste Sabbadin and artist Klaus Littmann presented a performance featuring readings, clarinet improvisations, and “water words” written on the stone slabs of the floating arena. The result was a dialogue exploring the themes of impermanence and transience in nature and life.
