A description of Cloth:
What happens in beds? ‘Cloth’ is an exploration of bed sheets and what they can suggest – childhood, dreams, intimacy, the human body, relationships…. A playful, intimate, honest, cozy half hour. A solo physical theatre piece devised and performed by Edinburgh-based one person theatre collective, Eve Klein & Sons.
What the ESAF Awards Panel had to say about Cloth:
This year’s recipient of the BEST PERFORMING ARTIST AWARD is the collective EVE KLEIN & SONS with their piece ‘CLOTH’. The panel found that this piece enquired into the conceptual transition between public and private worlds in a highly original and creative manner. It explored intimacy, relationships, innocence and the overarching complexity of the human condition through minimalistic, yet deeply symbolic, physical theatre conventions. The idiosyncratic world of the protagonist became something of a shared, communal experience for the audience. The narrative composition was elegant with well-executed transitions between each of the piece’s temporal parts.
