Barten easily combines theater, film, music, visuals arts and dance into spectacular, opera-like mass events. His imaginative modern day adaptations of theatre classics caught headlines and attracted tens of thousands of people. He rocked a medieval castle with his interpretation of The Tempest (Shakespeare), staged La Divinia Commedia (Dante) in a real harbor setting, played The Odyssey (Homer) in empty office buildings, Faust (Goethe) on a massive garbage heap and played Don Quichot at a harbor setting in Rotterdam.

The mental state of human beings in relation to their surroundings has always been a driving force in his work.Besides that, environmental and corporate social responsibility issues continue to be of great importance to Barten. He has done work for organizations such as Greenpeace, Unicef, the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and the Dutch national heritage foundation. Barten was honored for his groundbreaking theatre and film oeuvre at the Theatre Festival of Vienna. His soundtrack for the nature documentary The War Of The Ants won an award in Japan.
