Love and Spice

Balbir Singh Dance CompanyThis event has now finished

An elderly couple, still very much in love, lookback on their lives together, reliving key moments through memories of the meals they shared. As the couple reminisce, their younger selves appear and enact the memories of times past. The atmosphere is infused with the aromas of a richly spiced life.

With the couple's advancing age, each has lost one of their senses: he the sense of smell; she the sense of taste  Can the king and queen of spices, Black Pepper and Cardamom, help them recapture what has been lost?

Annapoorna, the goddess of food and nourishment, summons the butter-thief Krishna and the sweet-toothed elephant-headed god Ganesh to help her cook a special meal in the kitchen. Together they will try to revive the couple's lost senses, but what else will be rekindled along the way?

Love and Spice combines different art forms and cultural traditions in surprisingly delicious ways. Blending Kathak dance and live music with a chef cooking live on stage, expect a truly magical, multicultural feast for all the senses.
