“Aberdeen Fishing Dreams” Immersive Culinary Art Performance
DESCRIPTION
Take your seat on a dreamlike ferry ride and embark on a journey that revisits memories of the past...
Through creative reinterpretations of bygone ingredients and dining culture, “Deep Food” presents a realm that is both real and surreal—much like the duo listening to their grandfather and grandaunt recount stories of their life on the water, entering the intricate world of their memories. Though the ingredients and scenes from these stories are gone, imagination bridges the gaps in memory. This performance leverages Deep Food’s distinctive narrative and performative techniques to guide audience on a “dream-walk” back to the everyday existence of Aberdeen’s boat dwellers in the old days.
From tales of free-spirited love blossoming between neighbouring boats, to mischievous moments aboard family sampans, each memory reveals the unique intimacy and camaraderie of the boat dwellers’ community, inviting us to reflect on our own relationships within today’s onshore neighbourhoods. Centred around lost recipes and forgotten foods, the experience contemplates the ties between people, and between humans and nature. This evocative fantasia will take audience back in time to savour the essence of days gone by.
