Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: three, two, one…. in Estonia
At notafe in Estonia, we transform a 34-person ensemble work into a trio performance. “Clouds from a Crumbling Giant” adapts according to the situation. It expands and condenses between solid form and ethereal mist. We step back 1000 cycles in time. Since 2022, this work has touched on loss, empire, warfare, cosmology and the warmth of human touch. The trail of three souls weaves through the blackness of space, inscribing our wild shining days.
