What is Crit Club?

Crit Club is a performance by Cem A. where two teams debate an unrealistic question about art.

In a field where disagreement often feels risky, Crit Club creates space for critical play. Rather than rehearsing praise or silence, participants are invited to engage in disagreement—as performance, as roleplay, as thought experiment.

Each debate starts with a seemingly unrealistic question. One side argues for, the other against—until they switch roles midway through. As the performance unfolds, speakers must navigate an impossible scenario.
