Experience the Fusion of Art and Science at QUANTUM Dance Performance 🎭

QUANTUM: Where Art and Science Collide<br />swissnex San Francisco - ODC Theater<br />The QUANTUM dance performance was developed by Swiss choreographer Gilles Jobin and German visual artist Julius von Bismarck in the Collide@CERN residency, at the world’s largest particle physics lab.QUANTUM takes the quark as muse, fusing choreography and installation art into an ode to subatomic randomness. Six dancers vibrate, scatter, and whirl beneath a gyrating quartet of industrial lamps, programmed to respond to the slightest movement, while Carla Scaletti’s soundscape from particle collision data provides the sonic ether.Following each performance is a discussion on the collaboration between choreographer Gilles Jobin, artist Julius von Bismarck, and scientific advisor and CERN physicist Nicolas Chanon. The QUANTUM world tour is part of a series of events celebrating the 60th anniversary of CERN in 2014. It is co-presented in San Francisco with ODC Theater, the Consulate General of Switzerland, swissnex San Francisco, and the Goethe-Institut in San Francisco.
