The cavernous, reverberant space of a rural barn is the setting for a participatory performance dinner. The agrarian space, the life cycle of seeding, growing and cultivating – also as a metaphor for artistic creation – and the changing of the seasons influence the dinner performance, the menu, and the spatial installation. The guests participate in a “dinner dance”, moving from table to table between courses, and taking part in readings. It is Spring when the natural world is starting to grow and new beginnings are possible.
