Wolkenfänger

inFlux Dance Company (Berne)

Imagine: Ashe always does a man leaves his house and walks down the street. Today his arm decides to catch a cloud from the sky.
Until now, the arm did not do anything other than what came to the man’s mind. It reached out when the man wanted to grab his hat, it served as a support when the man read his newspaper at the breakfast table, it shook hands with innumerable amounts of people and dangled nonchalantly through the air or simply hung beside the man’s torso. Most of all, the man never really paid it any attention. But now it’s enough. The arm begins with a harmless twitch. Could it really be that the arm has a mind of its own? Convinced that it was only his imagination, the man continues as if nothing happened. However, doubt sneaks in and soon the arm proves to have only just begun. There is still a long way to the sky…
