"Riding on a Cloud is based on the true story of artist Rabih Mroué's younger brother, Yasser Mroué. At age seventeen, Yasser suffered from aphasia after being shot in the head during the Lebanese Civil War. Left with a 'problem with representations', he could recognize people and things when they were in front of him but not when shown to him as images. The doctor recommended that Yasser begin to make images as a way of recovering an understanding of the relationship between reality and representation.
Mroué's performance tackles precisely the same relationship. (...) Yasser appears on stage as himself, speaks about his life, and projects the videos he produced as a part of his recovery. Woven through these autobiographical gestures is a meditation on the metamorphoses that occur in the act of creating narratives."
