FEAR
An ensemble pursues their fears with radical honesty, subtle humour and wild imagination.
An attempt to stage FEAR with radical honesty.
Co-created with a creative team of inter-media artists, a sublime aural and visual theatrical experience sharpens the senses, plays havoc with logic and investigates the animal response of fight, flight, freeze and fawn.
Each performer rigorously researched and performatively delved into the theme to share their own diverse perspective of FEAR. Accompanied by a live score, a collective presentation through body and voice is an attempt to present the unpresentable, the sublime.
