Everything we eat tells a story. While cooking a traditional Filipino dish in real time, writer/performer Jovanni Sy (Artistic Director of Richmond’s Gateway Theatre) takes us on an entertaining and thought-provoking trip through history as he weaves stories of conquest, imperialistic desires, and colonialism through the construction (and deconstruction) of the Rellenong Bangus. Audiences will immerse themselves in the tantalizing aromas of a kitchen, and a tasting plate is served at the conclusion of the piece. A Taste of Empire is truly a feast for the mind and the palate.
