About

Each edition of Quatre-Quarts (French for "four forths") is unique, yet all share the same promise: a surprising experience. For each event, a theme is chosen. To illuminate its various facets, Prizmi selects four fifteen-minute presentations. Following an introduction, each intervention successively illustrates a different disciplinary perspective on the theme, alternating between artistic performances and academic talks. For Dance People, the subject of kindness will be at the heart of our reflections. At the intersection of benevolence, inclusion and generosity, kindness demonstrates a care for others that goes beyond self-interest. Yet, in certain circles of our contemporary world, this value can be dismissed or even perceived as a weakness. What if we explored the true strengths of kindness? Afterwards, spectators and speakers are invited to continue the discussion over a drink—and a slice of quatre-quarts (pound cake), naturally.
