Dark & Delicious

A Queer Botanist and a Poet survive underground and re discover their lives with the plants and flavours of Ginger, Saffron and Chocolate.
They find that their emotional states lead them to understand what these plants are telling them. Could they be dreaming? Or is it real? Whatever the situation – The plants present their botanical details; history and role in relation to the human world. In doing so they enable both characters revisit difficult moments in their own lives to gain a fresh perspective. Life sized puppetry and acting with poetry come together to present a fantastical queer reality of flavours and emotions, botany and poetry.
This performance was presented under the patronage of SafeMuse at the SafeHeavens Conference in Athens. It was then staged at the Nordic Black Theatre under the direction of Cliff Moustache.

“Dark & Delicious” is a quirky, seductive, intelligent, political, emotionally charged performance about the queerness of everything and everyone.
Two actors articulate a lived experience of survival in the violent realities of a prejudiced world. They use puppet characters of plants, animals, fungi and humans and learn to heal and understand life. This performance is inspired by the hidden communication network of plants, fungi and other organisms that scientists call the ‘Wood Wide Web.’ A diverse and interconnected world that is gender fluid and inclusive.
