FOOD
This absurdist dinner party will have you questioning everything you know and believe about food.
Overview
Performances with audience participation usually make us cringe and avert eye contact with the host at all costs. But FOOD, as part of RISING 2024, is so fun and fast that you'll easily slip into playing along.
Geoff Sobelle, a master illusionist from New York, is running this absurdist dinner party from Friday, May 31–to Saturday, June 8, at the Southbank Theatre. Here, guests will gather around a communal dining table and be served an eye-opening medley of food and drinks.
These aren't meant to be consumed — FOOD is an art performance, not an actual dinner — but you will be playing a part in the night's festivities. Throughout the evening, you and your fellow diners will be questioning why and how we eat what we eat.
We have very limited details on what exactly happens at this dinner party, but it sounds like a heap of fun. And we're intrigued to see how foodies will feel about their eating habits once the night is done.
