Created by critically acclaimed multidisciplinary artist duo Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya, A Meal is multi-sensorial live performance that is part-ritual, part-celebration, part-installation, and part-dinner. Commissioned by HERE and co-produced with LEIMAY, A Meal explores our deep connection with food—where it comes from, what we eat, and who we share it with.

This two and a half hour immersive experience takes audiences through a series of vignettes across HERE’s two-story building, where they’ll eat together, witness performances by mythological creatures, and encounter offering songs and evocative sound/video movement installations. The layered work features handmade organic tableware, crafted artifacts, and suggestive images and dances, all resonating with our post-industrial relationship with food and the Japanese and Colombian roots of the co-creators.
