Back home, the mouth-watering flavours and aromas of traditional Peruvian cooking was forbidden in Pepa’s home. Except when Grandma would sneak in a steak and some spices. In England, Pepa found herself on a journey, a journey inside herself, to discover that food could be shared with a new family around a new table. And you are invited to taste it. Through her own experiences, Duarte takes us on an exciting journey that will make us reflect on our own relationship with food.

Join Pepa Duarte (A Fight Against, Royal Court) for a full sensory experience exploring womanhood, body image and tradition in her debut play directed by Sergio Maggiolo. Through storytelling, movement and music, Eating Myself aims to bring the audience closer to their own roots and traditions. On stage cooking is used to generate an intimate sensory experience full of flavour. A shared ritual with South American flavour that wants to take the audience back to our roots and question how different we really are.
