“Play frees us from moral conventions but makes them still present, so we are aware of their weight, presence and importance.” – Miguel Sicart
Two Chairs is a non verbal and durational performance (20-40 minutes).
Alex and Mushi each have a chair and attempt to play together. What is discovered is something similar to when people are talking at the same time. Talking is often a battle to be heard, sometimes chaotic and sometimes playful.
Two chairs are silently pulled over hills and through fields of mist. Mushi grabs Alex’s chair, Alex pulls the chair back. In the absurdity of these actions each artist learns their own boundaries and each others’.
