on the table
a basket of mangoes
juicy fleshyq
and there we have:
a steel piler. a sharp scissor. a hammer.
my precious o my precious
which one will you pick to lick the luscious?

The table’s all set… We are excited to invite you to “How to Eat Mangoes,” a performance/lecture/mango party by Afshan D’souza-Lodhi. Afshan, in the role of a matchmaking auntie blessed with mango magic, perceives the fruit as an initiation for storytelling and a way to explore tensions between: the “exotic” fruit and Western dining etiquette, sellers and buyers in the capitalist market. More than just a socio-cultural symbol, the mango, with its aroma and juiciness, invites us to touch, smell, and taste; the mango, with its tender flesh, invites us to physically engage in love, separation, and healing.

We’re offering two types of tickets: early bird and standard. Let the universe guide you to the perfect day then snag early bird tickets before they’re gone – only available until the end of Mar 15
