A multi-sensorial live performance: part ritual, part celebration, part installation, and part shared cooking experience by critically acclaimed multidisciplinary artist duo Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya. Produced by LEIMAY, A Meal explores our deep connection with food—where it comes from, what we eat, and who we share it with.

This immersive experience takes you through a series of vignettes where you’ll partake in the act of cooking and eating together, witness performances by mythological creatures, and encounter offering songs and evocative sound/video movement installations. The layered work features evocative images and dances, resonating with our post-industrial relationship with food and the Japanese and Colombian roots of the co-creators.

For A Meal, Ximena and Shige bring together new and long-time collaborators to their LEIMAY Ensemble, alongside guest performers, composers, and vocalists. These include Masanori Asahara, Krystal Copper, Akane Little, Synead Cidney Nichols and Drew Sensue-Weinstein. Join us for a memorable journey that celebrates food, culture, and community.
