Abstract: This paper analyzes the artistic presentation of the “Fear” segment in Eason Chan’s “Fear and Dreams” concert to explore the modern expression of anti-war ideology. It further integrates Ulrich Beck’s theory of risk society and Mark Fisher’s critique of capitalist realism for a deeper discussion. Ulrich Beck’s theory of risk society reveals the increasing uncertainty and risks faced by modern society in the context of globalization and technological advancement. This uncertainty is powerfully conveyed in the concert through striking stage design and lyrics, expressing anxiety and fear about the future. Mark Fisher’s critique of capitalist realism focuses on how capitalism shapes individual ideologies. The sense of fear expressed in Chan’s songs serves as a reflection and critique of this reality, revealing how individual freedom is oppressed in capitalist societies. Overall, through multidimensional artistic techniques, Eason Chan deconstructs the emotion of “Fear,” forming a modern expression of anti-war ideology that encourages the audience to deeply reflect on the mechanisms of fear and control in contemporary society.
