Maison Foo, Derby CAN and Friends invite you to take…

A Seat At Our Table

Thu 6 – Fri 7 Jul, 2023 Archive
A multisensory celebration of food, family and friendship co created with global friends seeking sanctuary in Derby.

For hundreds of years, stories have been shared around the dining tables of Britain, and yet, there are still many missing…

Join us, as our global hosts bring new stories to the table, sharing personal anecdotes from their homelands in this intimate and heart-warming dining table experience.

Using audio story, visual installation, theatre design and live conversation, Maison Foo bring to audiences an infectiously joyous celebration of this very special community.

NOTE: We will be serving stories rather than food around the dinner table. – Each slot has limited availability. So, don’t waste any time in booking your ticket.

Commissioned by Derby CAN (Arts Council England Producing HUB) in partnership with Derby Museums and Oddfellows UK.
