The Cloud
From among the themes of this year’s PQ – Music Weather Politics – we have placed our main focus on the theme of Weather, and are engaging with the other two themes on this basis.
The immense diversity and creative energy of stage and costume designers living and working in Germany is an important pillar of the richness and uniqueness of the German theatre scene. This diversity is a vital foundation for a country’s cultural development, and thus also forms an important precondition for democracy.
The German exposition consists of a dynamic cloud sculpture that fills the room and allows viewers to experience the ideas behind the Cloud with their own senses.
The Cloud consists of more than 1,000 printed A6-sized cards containing designs and scene and set photos from nearly 200 stage and costume designers working in Germany. The images were collected by the German Scenographers’ Association, whose collection process resulted in a documented, communicative interaction with colleagues and theatres. This “social sculpture” is comparable to the technological Cloud that has come to assume an important role on both a virtual and a tangible level. We invited contributions from stage and costume designers from all genres and theatres, no matter what their approach to art. Drama and ballet, independent productions and state theatre: no stage is too small, no spectacle too big, as long as there is a performance and life is being staged. The networking required for the collection process is reflected in the Cloud’s design, in which the interlocking cards collectively make up a permeable, delicate but at the same time solid structure.

The accessible and penetrable sculpture allows for a sensitive, multi-layered dialogue with the visitor. Visitors can pick up single “drops” (cards falling to the ground as “rain”) and take them out of the weather cycle and into the public space.
