Everything we eat tells a story. While cooking a traditional Filipino dish in real time, Cantonese translator/performer Derek Chan 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. 食盡天下 / A Taste of Empire is truly a feast for the mind and the palate.
Running time 90 mins long. Presented in Cantonese with simplified Chinese and English subtitles.
