Since 2019, the soundscapes.live collective has been pursuing the goal of promoting European dialog through artistic means. The projects are realised in exchange between Switzerland and various regions of Europe in the fields of literature, music and theater.
Current Project
Street Ballads IV - Monologo
44 literary voices on the present from Switzerland and Europe.
The fourth edition of the Street Ballads series is dedicated to a publishing project. Under the title 44 Street Ballads, 44 literary monologues by authors from Switzerland and across Europe are brought together. In these texts, mythological and legendary figures take the floor, commenting on the present in ways that are angry, amused, detached, or despairing. From the publication 44 Street Ballads, a choral music-theatre project will emerge which, following the release of the book, will conclude the Street Ballads series as its fifth and final edition, presented as a live soundscape.
