Danse Macabre lecture
Una Grants. License: All Rights Reserved.
For a concert-lecture titled Danse Macabre at the RSU Anatomy Museum, I created a poster and a small brochure. For this occasion, I found the perfect font to use: Fenul Compressed, which draws inspiration from an anatomy book—specifically the chapter on bones. Fenul was designed by Jana Papierniková. The secondary font in use is Season Mix. Both fonts are available from Displaay Type Foundry.
This concert-lecture merges multiple art forms—music, dance, and visual art—into an interactive experience. I wanted to capture the graphic expressiveness of the skeleton while juxtaposing it with the fluidity of dance, as depicted in the photography by Kristīne Madjāre. The goal was to evoke a connection between medieval and modern perspectives on life and death. The hand-sized program features a flipbook effect, allowing the depicted dancer to “come to life” through movement.
The lecture is designed for a young audience and is supported by the Latvian school program.
