El banquete

Sit at a table. Talk. Eat. To love. Fuck. To play. Laugh. Love and food as pleasure and experience but also as consumption. Inspired by Plato’s Banquet, five playwrights write to six characters who meet between wine and delicacies to philosophize about love. Each one reflects from this, our time, what love is: Love hurts. Love no longer exists. Love is finding your better half. Love is not that bad either. Love is a capitalist invention. A comedy about the darkest arcana of food and love.
