How sweet to be a cloud
or how do you make an internet performance?
What happens when the internet takes over the stage? When memes, viral trends, and online communities aren’t just part of everyday life, but part of a theatre performance?
In this project, 20 young people bring their digital world to the stage. Together with HELLA LUX, they spent two intensive project weeks exploring how the internet shapes our communication, relationships, and identities – and how these experiences can be transformed into art.
The result is a performance featuring scenic collages, choreographed elements, soundscapes, videos, and texts drawn directly from the participants’ real lives: from TikTok trends and Discord friendships to virtual classrooms and digital self-representation.
HELLA LUX notes: As part of HOW SWEET TO BE A CLOUD project weeks and the DIGITALES WOHNZIMMER, HELLA LUX developed the methodological card set NEW SPACE, featuring over 30 creative methods for digital collaboration with age-diverse participants. The set is available for purchase on this website.
From age 12 | German & English | project weeks
