Finis ton assiette! is an audio-sensual experience somewhere between a banquet, symposium, time travel and philosophical pop, based on audience interaction and a clear taste for irreverence and provocation. The show focuses on soup, a universal and working class food, by asking some essential questions: why do we refer to folk music as “soup”, in French? Why do people always ask for bread and not brioche? Who ate Proust’s madeleine? Does a finger bowl really make your hands clean? What does eating mean?

For the show, around forty guests/spectators are seated at tables arranged in a circle around the main kitchen, surrounded by the smell of celery, the sound of chewing and tears from chopped onions, with washed-up musicians, universal suffrage, sliced bread sculptures and audio headsets. At a time when food has a high media presence (Top Chef, Come Dine With Me) and has become a political, public health and religious issue, Thank you for Coming has established an original creative protocol that uses a banquet to explore our actions, alliances and defeats. The show wraps up its series with an authentic theatrical and culinary experience that is both meticulously controlled and full of impertinent fun!
