This study examines Gisele Vienne’s Crowd through the theoretical framework of Erich Fromm’s escape from freedom, analyzing how emotional control and the illusion of freedom are visually and physically represented on stage in contemporary society. The study adopts a multi-method approach combining literature review, live performance observation, and interviews, and centers its analysis on three sensory dimensions: music, the body, and space. The analysis reveals that the work, through the juxtaposition of fast-paced music, slow movements, and collective spatial flows, presents a structure of emotional regulation, the loss of autonomy, and a sensory structure of controlled freedom. These findings illustrate how Fromm’s mechanism of escape from freedom is sensorially embodied in contemporary art, and suggest that art can function as a space for critically reflecting on social anxiety and psychological structures.
