QUANTUM is an innovative dance performance by Gilles Jobin - a choreographer of international acclaim, developed after his residency at the CERN – the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. QUANTUM is based on the concept of kinetic movement in particle physics and is a stunning example of the mutual inspiration that can happen when artists and scientists work alongside one another. The performance is jointly organized by the Embassy of Switzerland, swissnex India/ Consulate General of Switzerland in Bangalore and Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council, as part of the Year of Swiss Innovation in India.
