THE EXCRUCIATING SEAT

PREMIERED IN 2022

The Excruciating Seat is a performance that deliberately leads the audience into discomfort as a way of challenging the boundaries that prevent us from acknowledging error as an essential human condition. Rather than framing mistakes as failures, the work reframes them as moments of vulnerability deserving of attention, recognition, and even admiration.

By sustaining physical and emotional tension, the performance invites viewers to confront their own thresholds of endurance and judgment, proposing discomfort as a space for empathy, reflection, and the rehumanization of error.
