The Weather Report - A performance on unease, turbulence, and stability
The Weather Report delves into the connection between aviation and the experience of bipolar affective disorder. Bipolarity is characterized by extreme mood swings, ranging from episodes of elevated and overly energetic mania to depressive periods of intense sadness, hopelessness, and low energy. Stage director Jon R. Skulberg uses aviation and weather phenomena to describe his lived experience with bipolar disorder.
Being airborne you experience weather vertically - through altitudes, cloud formations, winds, and sharp temperature fluctuations. Hovering between low-lying cumulus clouds and lofty cirrus clouds, a pilot's job is to manage complex and changing weather systems. The Weather Report explores how we, as humans, navigate a life with instability and turbulence.
"(...)the calmness that Convoi Exceptionnel creates, and the way Jon R. Skulberg describes reality as he has experienced it, hits you right where you are most vulnerable. In your heart."
