The Cloud

Ein Stück über Instabilität, Widerstand und Transformation von der am Bolshoi-Theater ausgebildeten und in Berlin lebenden Elizaveta Poliakova im Duett mit dem ersten Solotänzer des Kosovarischen Nationalballetts Sead Vuniqi und Installation von Dominic Kiessling.

In The Cloud tanzt die am Moskauer Bolshoi-Theater ausgebildete Elizaveta Poliakova mit dem ersten Solotänzer des Kosovarischen Nationalballetts Sead Vuniqi – in einer Installation von Dominic Kiessling und der Komposition der aktuell in Berlin gehypten Erin Lang.

The piece explores instability, resistance, and transformation. It unfolds within a constantly shifting environment, where movement of the body emerges in response to pressure, friction, and moments of alignment with the art object Cloud. The performers navigate between states of control and loss of control, generating a physical landscape that is both precise and unpredictable. The body does not illustrate a narrative, but exposes processes: tension, interruption, and reconfiguration. Movement appears, dissolves, and reemerges in altered forms, creating an ongoing negotiation.

Within these transformations, the piece unfolds as a metaphorical field in which meaning and perception remain open, allowing images, sensations, and associations to surface without settling into a single interpretation. The piece invites the audience into a space of heightened perception, where attention shifts away from a fixed narrative toward the immediacy of transformation.
