“What are we teaching our children about food?”

Collected from a series of interviews, their stories reveal our deep craving for true communion and celebrate unspoken heroes of everyday life.The audience is invited to join the conversation through live clown play with objects on stage (a supermarket cart, a rope and 300 bullets casings), as well as by adding their own testimony after seeing the piece.
The performer, Celia Dufournet, is from Lyon in France. She studies and teaches Corporeal Mime at Pomona College as research assistant of Tom Leabhart since 2011 and with his help she created In Food Empire in December 2013.
