Beauty of Fear

Through dialectical thinking, QUARTO created a performance focusing on tight integration between movement, sound, video and text in a choreographical and multidimensional space. The project was initiated in 2009 during a one-year artistic residence at Teater Giljotin in Stockholm and a month at Inkonst in Malmö. QUARTO shared the creative process every month through performance, site-specific and video installation, in which the audience took a central role.

BEAUTY OF FEAR is a choreography dealing with questions regarding human nature involving issues of domination and freedom.
