The projects Clouds suggests a scenography controlled from the skies. The means are simple: to build a large clothesline-like structure above the square in Malmö that constitutes the stage and fill it with semitransparent plastic sheets. Clouds is a light and uncomplicated scenography that creates many possibilities.
The layering of the plastic sheets creates depth in the scenery, allowing the actors to move through the sheets between their scenes. The property of the play can also be created with the sheets, through ”objects” made of the same plastic, lowered down from the lines above. The color of the sky will determine the backdrop and by hanging the plastic in layers, a three-dimensional depth is created.
