Welcome to the Bustleton High Class of 2014! Join us for an immersive 10 Year Reunion: a yacht party celebrating our highs, our lows, the fortunes we were born into and the fame we earned. Gossip, banter, old crushes, old grudges, and evergreen egos: anything could happen at sea… An immersive anticapitalist performance in the most unlikely setting: the reunion dinner cruise of an exclusive private high school for the children of wealthy elites. In The Meal, a group of prominent alumni gleefully reopen old wounds, sometimes overlapped with flashbacks, movement sequences and song. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the working people on the yacht are sharing a very different experience. Audience members will have the opportunity to consent to interactive moments with performers (no physical contact).
A production by the Shadow Company (Yes! And… Collaborative Arts), a performing arts company made up of high school students. With an ensemble-based methodology, they work with a director and professional artists to build their skills as artists, collaborators, leaders, and citizens. The Meal will premiere at 21 W. Washington Lane in Philadelphia, PA 19144. The performance runs September 6, 7, 13, and 14. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $5 for students and can be purchased at https://www.yesandcamp.org/.
