CLOUDBURST
Created on the Baltic Opera Ballet in 2021
There is no life without water.
Cloudburst is a neoclassical one-act ballet in three movements: Ritual, Celebration and Life, which was inspired by ancients civilisations worship of nature and explores our evolving relationship with water and the climate. How pre-Colonial civilisations gave thanks and realised the importance water and rain meant for their society, to how we have romanticised it in modern art and forgotten how important this resource is for our everyday life.
