THE FEAST

Combining installation, live video, multi-media theatre & interactions with the audience, Cinematic Theatre's “The Feas” is to reflect on the meaning of eating. According to a Chinese saying, "Food is the paramount concern of the people." Some say eating is part of life's enjoyment, and delicious food is just irresistible. But, when food enjoyment versus starving, food safety versus convenient food, wholesome food versus non-nutritious food, under the issue of globalization does we know what nutritious value of the food we're eating?

"The Feast" is a multimedia performance focusing on animal rights and human rights. With animal rights as a metaphor, the performance shows how the lower class people are exploited under capitalism. This is a show about the disparity of wealth, the poor, food safety issues and how humans and animals peacefully coexistence. At the same time, the show brought out the Chinese people's food culture, promised to be a performance full of thoughtful cultural exchanges.
