Beast Banquet 2007

The audience is invited to the wedding banquet of a young couple. The performance speculates on whirlwind romances, vampires, gender powerplay and gaslighting (think Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes). Guests are implicated into the event as confidantes, and provocateurs as the relationship slowly unravels. Dessert is served in elegant surroundings, things get nasty, and nothing quite goes to plan. Beast Banquet was a collaboration between Triage Live Art Collective and one step at a time like this.
