‘De gustibus non est disputandum’
(There is no disputing about taste)A Table . 30 Guests . Taster’s Menu . A Radical Life.A radical cultivates taste - taste as discernment, taste as presence and taste as a performative act. If we form ourselves by the books we feed on, the friendships we savour, the camaraderie we let simmer, and the journeys we relish, a radical life has a beginning in what is consumed. Audience is invited to gather around a table, and become visitors, friends, and witnesses of a radical life. All sorts of stimuli are brought to the table to touch, to see, to hold, to savour.Table Radica is a food table, an archival table, a listener’s table. It opens up archives into a live experience, and expands the notion of taste beyond a corporeal experience to an encounter with aesthetics, love, desire and life.Table Radica takes the form of a lecture-performance that invites audiences to immerse in the re-telling of the story of a radical life, constructed through research as well as creative interpretations of facts.
