Commissioned by the Centre for Arts and Social Innovation of the ENT, in co-creation with Maude Levasseur and Erika Kierulf, Lost Food Table was presented at the Monument-National in Montreal on March 2, 2024. More than 2,000 people attended visited the event-exhibition and participated.
The evening is part of a desire by the centre and our collective to collaborate with researchers in the fields of arts and health to further explore the relationships between food, care, travel, biodiversity and well-being using the tools theater, in a future research-creation laboratory. Around a hundred stories were collected in collaboration with community organizations, including the Radisson Community Centre and the Montreal Chinese Family Service Center.
Invited to sit at a banquet table, participants were able to stroll, read and listen to stories; share their own culinary stories.
Our collective collected the stories, presented them in various forms – video, audio, written; made things by hand; performed during the evening.
