"CPPM triptych. Political movement" brings together three distinct performances of CPPM in one evening: "WalkYourChair", "EMIT" and "Night Watch" ("Öötöö").

All performances were conceived in response to the curatorial frame: political movement. From these impulses, three directions emerged—three creative teams and three completely different approaches that meet on stage to create a new shared experience. The productions explore how devising strategies can transform individual perspectives into a collective movement, aligning performers toward action and opening new ways of approaching themes of political sensitivity. The evening offers an opportunity to experience and reflect on co-creation, cultural polyphony, and the diverse expressions of contemporary political theatre.

“WalkYourChair” is a site-specific performance by The Third in. It all begins with an audio guide that speaks to you and offers something simple: take your chair for a walk, sit wherever you want, and see what happens if you let it lead you. What if that’s all it is: a moment, you and your chair? From there, four performers give body and breath to four chairs placed in a space meant to pass through, not to stay. A space beneath the earth, beneath the human world, where people simply cross from one side to the other, a space of pure transit. The piece opens that small fold where a chair, any chair, can mean something else when it appears where it “shouldn’t,” inviting you to look at and inhabit the space in a different way, almost as if the chair were teaching you how to be.
