WHO EVEN CHAIRS?
L’arte deve per forza avere un significato? Ciò che sembra insignificante può, con un colpo di pennello, diventare inestimabile? È importante? Dovremmo preoccuparcene? Who even cares? Who even… chairs?
Da bambino sognavi il mondo. Ora è il momento di viverci
Creator e performer: Mads Mørck Christensen
Anfibia
Cross-disciplinary professional training program for performers and contemporary creators.
A full-time international training in performative arts located in Bologna, Italy.
WHO EVEN CHAIRS?
Apparently, we do.
Last night, Mads Mørck Christensen's wonderfully eccentric WHO EVEN CHAIRS? had us laughing, questioning, and trying to figure out what exactly was happening—in the best possible way.
A huge congratulations on the debut of this spectacular piece. We can't wait to see where these chairs (and this performance) end up next.
And the festival isn't over yet! CRUDO FESTIVAL 2026 continues today and tomorrow with more performances, discoveries, and unexpected moments at .artculturalhub

"Zaataris" by Ottilie Egger Reynolds
"Every place a person has lived in, even just for a short amount of time, starts to become part of their identity. Each corner has a memory. When we talk about 10 or 20 years, you have established a home, you built a house, you built a kitchen, you planted a flower, you planted a …. a tree."
Material inspired from my shortfilm with Fadia, Hussein, Jumana, Mufleh, and Rayan

"24hr Body" by Charlene Galea
The 24 Hour Body Cannot Stop. An autobiographical soundscape of labour, club escapism and domestic isolation unfolds across four performers. Loops of hyper alertness drive repetition as pressure builds and the body begins to unravel.

"N**E" by Margherita Carpinelli
“N**E” is the exploration of sensuality through the conflict between God’s spirituality and the concreteness of the body.
A journey that moves through the sin of feeling, the pleasure of feeling, the power of feeling.
What happens if I begin to feel like a sinner after experiencing concrete pleasure through my body?
What happens if the spirituality I projected onto pleasure fades after an extreme sensory perception?
What is God to me? Where is God for me?

"Humans. Natural processes in a solid mind." by Daniela Valente
It seems like humans are less human. Our piece explores how mobile phones, and all what we can reach through them, is changing humanity, and the capacity of welcoming another human being in our life. It is a collective experience. It means natural versus artificial.
We intend to throw an alert: artificial spaces creates artificial minds.

"0UT 0F 0RDER" by Amy Vella
An itch that needs to be scratched… a fixation that won’t fade. A self-made ritual unfolds through repetition and subtle absurdity. 0UT 0F 0RDER traces a tension between rigidity and release - can both exist at once?

"REBUS" by Anna Sole Gaiotto
The performance is a political and perceptual game exploring the most seductive and silent forms of contemporary power. Through the fragmentation and the manipulation of visibility the stage becomes a living puzzle - a panoptic device in which everything is constructed and orchestrated

"WHO EVEN CHAIRS?" by Mads Mørck Christensen
Does art have to mean something?
Can what seems insignificant, by the stroke of a brush become invaluable?
Is it important? Should you care? Who even cares?
Who even... chairs?
When you were a kid, you dreamt of the world.
Now it’s time to go live in it.
