Chair!

About

A performance that celebrates the act of sitting down.
When did our public seating disappear and what would happen if we brought it back?

Set in a dreamlike world, CHAIR! imagines how we can once again have public spaces that care. Where people can sit uninterrupted ready to relax, work, remember and have time and place to dream. This performance with chairs plus every day and surreal objects and actions reiterates the fact that everyone has the right to sit down.

Participation call out
Brighton Festival and Geraldine Pilgrim Performance Company are looking for performers who would like to sit down. This opportunity is open to anybody over 16 that would like to take part in an outdoor pop-up performance as part of the Brighton Festival on Saturday 23 & Sunday 24 May.

No previous performing experience required only an enthusiasm for taking part in a performance that demonstrates joyfully how everyone has the right to sit down and dream
