The Digital, the Divine, and the Meteorological Cloud Collide in an Audiovisual Triptych, Directed by Olof Runsten and Produced by Dramageddon.Molntriptyk is an audiovisual performance in three parts that explores the shifting symbolism of clouds and a human endeavor to reach the intangible. Through the triptych's three-part stage design, the divine, meteorological, and digital cloud are examined in three scenic forms that collapse into each other, creating a suggestive, unpredictable whole.
Clouds are fleeting. They absorb their surroundings and soak up water, data, memories, and chemicals to release them in entirely different places. Bursting with symbols and attributed qualities such as divine, threatening, and idiotic. From Aristophanes' comedic clouds to the medieval mysticism of The Cloud of Unknowing, phantasmagoria, the mushroom cloud to the digital cloud. Regardless, the cloud represents what we cannot grasp, whether it is positively or negatively charged.
Through audiovisual editing techniques, newly composed music, and text, some eerie cherubs weave an unpredictable triptych inside the cloud.
ABOUT
The project is created by a group of artists who, in various constellations, have produced several productions together and through these have developed a scenic practice for working with text in relation to audiovisual tableaux. This project can be seen as the concluding part of a trilogy of performances that take off from a romanticized image of nature. The previous parts are Mountain Fictions (2021), which among other things explored nature romanticism and nationalism in relation to the phenomenon of being enchanted by mountains, and Seasons (2024), which examined the anthology as a dramaturgical form and what the broken time cycle of the seasons does to our perception of time. Through the performances, we have developed a unique aesthetic method where sound, light, and video are integrated with actors to create heightened and musical works.
