A baroque banquet in which hunger devours itself.

Guests gather. Someone cooks. Someone serves. Desire already outruns hunger. One more bite. One more sip. One more reason to stay. No one holds you back. No one says stop. Eat Me plays with hunger. With the kick of always wanting a little more. When is too much enough?

oester serves a text by poet Dominique De Groen: bittersweet, sticky, difficult to wash off. Jonathan Bonny lets classical and electronics leak into the room, driven by B’Rock and performers Blandine Coulon, Romain Dayez, Linde Carrijn and Casper Clausen. Everything unfolds in the lacquered arena of :mentalKLINIK, somewhere between dinner, concert and shared intoxication.

Pick your poison.

À ta santé.
