Still-Alive Dinner
︎︎︎by Jose Hopkins & Silvana Hurtado Dianderas[Part of the Creative Playground Residency - Utrecht, The Netherlands]
Still-Alive Dinner is a participative performance in which we invite the audience to reconnect with themselves and the other beings with whom we share our bodies. Alongside drinking a series of fermented beverages, this ceremony-inspired experience will guide them on a journey created in the intersection of different topics like being alive and dead, being you and them, becoming rotten, and the colonization (and commercialization) of traditions, among others.
