A risk-taking, imaginative and unexpected dance with furniture.

Table & Chair duet is a simple yet charming physical exploration guided by the idea of object animation, about bringing life to seemingly inanimate (nonliving) bodies. Objects are treated as living performers, with their own will, strengths and weaknesses. They are essentially equal to their living counterpart. The joy of dance is visualized in a duet between the animate and the inanimate.
Table & Chair Duet premiered at Amsterdam Fringe Festival on the 2nd September 2021.
