An einer für den Ausbau der Autobahn A49 kahl geschlagenen Schneise spielt Levit für den Klimaschutz Klavier. Das Konzert wird mit Funklautsprechern zu den Umweltschützenden im Wald übertragen. Gemeinsam fordern Igor Levit, Fridays for Future Sprecherin Luisa Neubauer und Greenpeace-Waldexpertin Gesche Jürgens die Bundesregierung auf, die Zerstörung des Waldes für den Bau einer neuen Autobahn zu beenden. Die umstrittene Rodung fußt auf jahrzehntealten Ausbauplänen der A49 zwischen Kassel und Gießen. Vor dem Hintergrund einer eskalierenden Klimakrise kritisieren die Organisationen den Autobahnbau als nicht mehr zeitgemäß und fordern eine klimafreundliche Verkehrswende.In diesem Bild: Klima-Aktivistin Luisa Neubauer von Fridays for Future Deutschland.Locations:Dannenroeder Forest-Europe-Germany-HesseDate:4 Dec, 2020Credit:© Bernd Lauter / GreenpeaceMaximum size:7952px X 5304pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Activists-Concerts-Day-Forests (campaign title)-Forests (topography)-KWCI (GPI)-Medium group of people-Music events-Musical equipment-Musical instruments-Musicians-Outdoors-Performing artists-Pianos-TreesShoot:Concert with Igor Levit in the Dannenroeder ForestPianist Igor Levit makes a musical statement for the protection of the Dannenröder Forest in Hesse.
