Panic Movement (Mouvement panique) was a collective formed after casual meetings at the Café de la Paix attended by Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor in Paris, France in 1962. Inspired by and named after the god Pan, and influenced by Luis Buñuel and Antonin Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty, the group concentrated on chaotic performance art and surreal imagery.
The Panic Movement performed theatrical events designed to be shocking, as a response to surrealism becoming petite bourgeoisie and to release destructive energies in search of peace and beauty. One four-hour performance known as Sacramental Melodrama was staged in May 24 1965 at the Paris Festival of Free Expression.
Jodorowsky dissolved the Panic Movement in 1973, after the release of Arrabal's book Le panique. [1] [Apr 2007]

Olivier, Jacques Sternberg et Roland Topor. Le terme panique est une référence au dieu Pan. Le groupe est dissout en 1973 par Jodorowsky, lorsqu'il découvre le livre publié par Arrabal.

Café de la Paix
- Panique, c’est Roland Topor, Alexandro Jodorowsky, Fernando Arrabal, Olivier O. Olivier, Christian Zeimert, Diego Bardon, Sam Szafran, Abel Ogier, Michel Parré, Roman Cieslewicz, Jérôme Savary, Jacques Sternberg,..., une nuée d’individualités riches douées d’une philosophie de vie et d’une force de préhension des choses singulière, à l’instar des surréalistes qu’ils côtoyèrent le temps de s’enfuir loin du dogme et de la figure patriarcale d’André Breton. Panique, c’est l’œil de l’inconscient qui appréhende le Réel les paupières closes, assisté par l’œil du conscient, ému de se voir ainsi révélé. C’est encore la quête expressive de l’homme. hermaphrodite.fr
