Created and performed during a residency at Marble House Project, Vermont, US, this experience invites you to mourn for the end of the summer and prepare to enter the winter season. The dinner is thought of as a series of rituals to be activated individually for some and collectively for others. Every ingredient and material is native to the territory surrounding Marble house (its vegetable garden, forest or marble quarry), or the state of Vermont. We invited textile artist Owyn Marisol Ruck to design the performance costume with us. These woollen tapestries are made to hang a bouquet of mushrooms at the level of the heart (for the first ritual "Join").
