The show is built from energetic "islands" that lead the performers between improvisational moves, in which the emphasis is on faithfulness to what is happening inside them and narrowing the gap between the inside and the outside.
How can one bear the constant change of the soul in the face of the constant attempt to hold on to it and define it?
Through cognitive, physical and vocal mechanisms, we will free ourselves from identity, self-judgment, the thinking head and words.

Clouds reveal a physical, sensory and spiritual landscape that is constantly changing. Its movement and visual aesthetics also do not stop moving - between endless delicacy and existential upheaval
In the center of a space that looks randomly designed and sparse, performer Daniel Edvardson stands without shelter. Using his body and voice, drawing inspiration from cabaret shows and genres such as clowning and circus performances, Daniel produces a vibrant show
In a show that explores the boundaries of the familiar and stretches them, the creator creates from the banal and the abstract a performative bubble that has from the ridiculous and colorful but also from the morbid and dark: his raw, grotesque characters, wandering in space, modeling positions clumsily, and seem to be looking for meaning and connection with the emptiness and the audience that surrounds them. It is a search for a unique and imaginative performative being; Like clouds floating in the sky
Short piece presented at "10/20 and a Show Festival 2022"
Created for Beit Yael in collaboration with Dor Frank.

A THEATRE PIECE FOR CORONA TIMES:
Theatres around the world have been shut down for months due to the global Covid-19 pandemic; but the theatre corridors are still echoing the emotional moments, the excitement, the "Bravo!" and the connection between the viewer and the actor.
Corona allows us to wander about the vast spaces of an empty theatre; inside the twilight zone that merges fiction with reality and transforms the theatre building into an ever-changing landscape - which at times appears as an image and at times as the 'thing' it-self.
Shotetut – “To wander about” means to walk without purpose or aim – and it is indeed a criminal act in the Israeli law. Wandering allows us to observe reality on a different frequency. Once one pauses the immediate; the naiming if things; the categorizations – one can observe things as they are and as they could have been. The theatre is a place of potential; thus, it is the perfect landscape to wander about.
The audience members put on their headphones and wander about following Efriam and Yosefa through the unique and ever-expanding act of creation by Yoel Hoffman in his books.
