Quarto Physical Theater is a multidisciplinary and intercultural performance group located in Stockholm, Sweden. Artistic Director Leandro Zappala co-founded the theater with the performer Anna af Sillén in 2003 during her studies at Balettakademien University of Stockholm. The company uses physical training and improvisation to create original performances.

After 10 years of working in Brazil, Leandro Zappala moved to Sweden in 2003, to continue developing his work as performer in Europe. Together with Anna and collaborators from around the world, including researchers from other areas, such as sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, scholars from the world of dance, theater etc. start a new phase in his career, with further research into performing arts.

Quarto's productions frequently use textual sources for inspiration, including history, philosophy, composition of live music and visual art. Quarto Physical Theater has roots in contemporary dance as well as theater, but above all oriental training and practices that demand an extreme level of body control.

Quarto has worked extensively through process based projects in residence and extended it with more creative dynamism in Europe than in Brazil in recent years. Has often co-produced at the experimental Theater Moderna Dansteatern of Stockholm, Inkonst, Teater Gjlotin, school of art Nyckelvikskolan and Festivals.

The company has formulated a method of creation and search through the trilogy Waste in Process, WIP, 2006, 2007, 2008, continuing and deepening the research in performing arts.
