The Chairs

Inspired by Italo Calvino’s novel “Invisible Cities” and “The Chairs” by Eugène Ionesco, “The Chairs” is a participatory performance that puts collaboration and community center-stage. Hundreds of chairs for an interactive urban event with a striking visual and musical impact that bridges contemporary art and live performance.
The “chair” as a symbolic object of the audience’s condition becomes a creative tool for involving the public.
The theatrical space, before limited by safety rules for social distancing, becomes a place of fantastic creation in which everyone becomes protagonist of a collective adventure.
