In ‘The Four Temperaments,’ Cate Blanchett performs four sets of distinct character types divided according to a personality classification first defined by the Greek philosopher, Galen.
He named the four ‘Temperaments:’ Sanguine (yellow), Choleric (red), Melancholic (blue), and Phlegmatic (green). The characters performed by Blanchett each appear within a single floating crystal ball. The character fixes her gaze and addresses the viewer with the words “I love you.”
Confronting familiar emotions that shift between intimacy and distance, gentleness and brutality; the viewer inadvertently becomes the subject in a crossfire of emotions.
