"Art Connects Us to Feeling, Feeling Connects Us"

Free Seat

A keyboard and an empty chair with headphones are placed in an urban space. A song is created in the moment for every person who takes a seat. This performance piece is an invitation to stop for a moment and dive into another realm within the public space. No explenation, no rules and no expectations are set, just a moment of encounter through music.

"Free Seat" is a collaboration between the Brazilian musician Pedro Carneiro Silva and the Iranian/German filmmaker Ardalan Aram.

​

By promoting random encounters, the project seeks to act in the daily life of the city and raise questions about human relations trough art. The participant, by overcoming the natural distrust of what is being offered to him and joining the proposal to take a seat, goes from the role of a spectator to co-author of the creation process, insofar as his attitude directly influences the music that is created in the moment.
