Lacuna Kitchen
KIEMKRACHT

Pop-up restaurant and performance about invisible labour and the hidden stories in our food culture

Lacuna Kitchen by the Indian-Dutch theater maker and storyteller Abhishek Thapar is a sensory theater experience in the form of a unique pop-up restaurant, where the stories behind our food culture are explored. Personal ingredients and untold stories of kitchen workers (including migrant workers, refugees, and individuals with diverse skills) form the basis for a four-course dinner. Lacuna Kitchen demonstrates how food can serve as a bridge between cultures, while also exposing invisible labor and the impact of colonialism on our food culture.  


The performance transforms the kitchen into a space for community building and critical reflection, inviting participants and the audience to think about their own role within societal and economic systems.

You are invited to a communal meal. The menu is plant-based (vegan) and lactose-free. The use of foods that often cause allergic reactions (such as peanuts) is avoided. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate allergies, but the dinner consists of various components that are served separately. There will be something for everyone to eat. The meal will be served approximately 1.5 hours after the start.
