Theatre & Technology The Interaction Lab Insider - March 2024

"Listen! We eat"

Fedde&deCarvalho is an artistic team that has reimagined the dining experience with an interactive creation, “Luister! We eten” ("Listen! We eat"). This performance employs technology to create social interaction centred around sound and attentive listening. Handcrafted tableware and specially designed tables equipped with discreet audio devices transform each dining setting into a unique auditory landscape, inviting guests to become both audience and performer in a culinary concert. “Luister! We eten” is not just about eating, but also prompts reflection on our connection to the food we consume and the environment from which it originates.

Are you curious about the integration of theatre and technology? Join our events on March 12th, led by Anne and Fedde from the performance company behind “Luister! We eten”. During the lunch break, listen to the authors talk about the performance. In the evening, they will give a workshop focused on a new project involving the synergy between plants. Anne and Fedde will integrate narrative elements to deepen the connection between people and nature.
