THE PERILS OF OBEDIENCE is a multidisciplinary project focusing on the seduction of power. Inspired by Stanley Milgram's 1961 psychological experiments, the project merges different media and challenges notions of social rules, participating in a larger debate about labor conditions and subjectivity by confronting established sets of rules and cultivating the conditions for unscripted consequences. THE PERILS OF OBEDIENCE casts performers within fictional and non-fictional parameters, using material from iconic movie scripts like Basic Instinct (1992) or A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), narratives based on the performers lives, manifestos, and historical events such as The Astor Place Riots (1849), thus blurring the line between the subject and the character.
