Why do we eat what we eat? Where does it come from? Do we need what we eat? Do we eat what we need? What does it really cost? An intimate dinner party performance of smell, taste, and touch, FOOD offers a meditation on the ways and whys of eating. The audience gathers around a white linen-covered dining table, engaging with each other and their empty plates in an immersive, constantly transforming performance. Sounds, scents, and tactile elements shape a conversation about personal memories, consumption, and the evolution of food production over generations. FOOD is the third work in a trilogy by renowned clown and devotee of the “sublime ridiculous” Geoff Sobelle.

Geoff Sobelle — FOOD

University of Texas at Austin

A threadbare curtain opens on a circus that’s seen a million audiences or more. The acrobats and jugglers have long ago walked off the job. The only ones left to run the show are the clowns—scrambling, playing crumbling instruments, and struggling to keep the boat afloat, until the entire show falls apart in a spectacle of total catastrophe.
