This performance is the deconstruction of pleasure emphasising on the labour food needs to be presented. A chef lays her process bare – preparing for the audiences arriving for India’s premier art do.
While artists present their work in the vicinity, one can see a chef, responding to the beauty around them. The chef assumes the Artist’s Role. Gently building the opulence of pleasure.
This performance by Bani Nanda, transforms a chef into a performer. The chef constructs the idea of the evening for everyone to experience, openly. From setting up a table to serving guests, a chef’s job is not done till a bite is taken.
