this evening will explore privilege, exclusivity and economy, by requiring attendants to bring a delicious dish (potluck style) as an entrance fee, which will then get “redistributed” by our food servers as a five-course meal. much like the previous evening, (but with some twists and turns), we will similarly explore eating rituals, formalities and traditions. the meal will be a surprise to everyone and performances will be scattered throughout the night. this evening is FREE if you sign up in advance (click HERE to reserve your seat) & commit to bringing a dish to contribute towards the group meal. there are limited seats for this event so sign up now! donations will be requested for drinks.
