The Chairs

Portrait Mosaïque — Ce qui traverse les corpsDance

In The Chairs by Jaber Ramezan, the performers move around the stage within an unstable architecture made up of chairs, without ever touching the ground. Each movement involves negotiation between body and chair, as well as gravity. By means of a heightened, mutual attentiveness, balance turns into a practice of caring for one another. Following on from Boundaries of Bodies, the Iranian artist furthers the investigations he has been carrying out over the course of the last fifteen years, at the crossroads between theatre, dance and cinema.
