Eating Myself

“Food is a gift. Something you give to others. A privilege. An excuse to be with the ones you love.”

Back home, the mouth-watering flavours and aromas of traditional Peruvian cooking was forbidden in Pepa’s home, except when Grandma would sneak in a steak and some spices. In London, Pepa embarked on a journey inside herself. She discovered that food could be shared with a new family around a new table, and you are invited to taste it!

Join Pepa Duarte (‘A Fight Against/’Una Lucha Contra’, Royal Court) for a full sensory experience exploring womanhood, body-image, and tradition, in her debut play directed by Sergio Maggolio (‘The Dark Stone’, Cervantes Theatre, Ovalhouse, and Arcola).
