A place shaped slowly through artistic practice, ecological care, and long-term presence.
Corfu Forest Theater is an open-air arts space and performance site situated within the natural landscape of the Xelonari Valley in north Corfu. The project brings together artistic practice, ecological stewardship, and communal exchange in a setting shaped by wild forest, meadow, and cultivated land.
Its work focuses on enabling new ways of living and creating that respond directly to environmental and social conditions. Through artist residencies, performances, and collaborations, the site develops as an evolving platform where artistic research and regenerative land practices coexist, fostering diversity in artistic voices, ecological systems, and collaborative approaches.
The land has been allowed to grow wild over many years and is now stewarded through regenerative methods that balance cultivation and wilderness. Food cultivation forms part of this practice, including environmentally sensitive olive cultivation understood as an extension of care for land, biodiversity, and ecological health.
Operating as a non-profit organization, Corfu Forest Theater was initiated and is stewarded by Florian Lenz, and continous as an ongoing process — shaped over time by artists, local communities, and the rhythms of the landscape itself.
