Description

Commissioned by Arte Libera Foundation whose aim is to produce and broadcast cultural activities dealing with childhood, Cloud is aimed at adults as well as youth. With the participation of twenty local children and texts by Fabrice Melquiot, this new creation by Perrine Valli questions the impact of technology on the body and the dialogue between generations.

We are certainly witnessing one of the most dramatic transformations of human existence. Will this technological backlash be a deep and deadly spell or a magical metamorphosis rich in potentialities ? This seems to be the challenge to new generations! An engaged show rich in emotions.
