Dancing with Chairs is an installation and a performance, in which passers-by are invited to participate. It is a project loosely based on the idea of musical chairs, but with different rules: there is a chair for everyone, no one is excluded. It is intended to empower people and bring joy to the street. It is a choreography of chairs and people, dancing together in the street.
