A queer anti-capitalist performance in the image of its creators, the interdisciplinary autodidacts Alexis O’Hara and Atom Cianfarani. As the environment collapses around them, the pair—accompanied by Brutus, their singing dog —interrogate our actions and the responsibilities we have as citizens while sharing their concerns with a generous dose of humour and absurdity.
The Cloud grapples with environmental catastrophe related to the eponymous digital storage space. What might be a polluting undersea cable in the real world is transformed on stage into a monumental structure serving as a sculpture, a vessel, or a projection screen. Neither morality play nor tearjerker, The Cloud tells a science fiction-fuelled story with a satirical touch. It’s a mind-blowing journey infused with a DIY punk spirit!
