Inspired by the \u201cAllegory of the Long Spoons,\u201d the production tackles the visceral reality of human connection. The ancient parable reminds us of a simple truth: when we act solely in self-interest, we starve; when we feed each other, we thrive.<\/p>\n
Through a queer, contemporary, and fiercely fashion-forward lens, the performance drags the audience through five distinct stages of the human condition, starting in the cold corners of isolation and scarcity, and fighting its way toward collective abundance and raw celebration.<\/p>\n
This isn’t a passive night out. Be prepared for a full-staged environment, pulling thematic threads from the worlds of Alexander McQueen and \u201cAlice in Wonderland.\u201d<\/p>\n
Expect the Unconventional. Live fashion performances from brilliant local designers colliding with contemporary dance, experimental music, and biting spoken-word poetry.<\/p>\n
Be ready to feast! A multi-course, staged food experience woven directly into the storyline is provided. Guests will be literally and emotionally fed in stages, as the narrative progresses.<\/p>\n
This amazing spectacle is made possible by a massive, diverse network of over 70 local creatives, including designers, models, dancers, chefs, and non-profit partners.<\/p>\n
“This is for people who want to feel something, not just watch something.”<\/em><\/p>\n This show is designed for the tastemakers, the creatives, the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone who values art that leaves a scar. The dress code for the evening is strictly \u201cHunger Games.\u201d<\/p>\n
