INTER.FEAR is an artistic collaboration between South African choreographer and performer, Athena Mazarakis and Hansel Nezza. An immersive theatrical encounter that delves into that most basic, common and essential human emotion: fear. INTER.FEAR weaves together a raw physicality with an evocative stage design and cutting edge interactive digital art to explore the constant and insidious presence of fear in our contemporary lives: a presence that mediates and interferes with our every encounter.
Tegan Bristow's breathtaking interactive digital interfaces alongside Jenni-lee Crewe's sparse poetic stage design and Liannallull and Nezza's haunting score combine to draw the audience into the twilight spaces of the psyche where fears reside.
Inter.Fear emerges out of a shorter work originally commissioned by and presented at Dance Umbrella 2012.
«I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer and fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.» - Frank Herber
