What is the true nature of erotic love? Pop-Up Love Party reimagines Plato’s Symposium in its quest to define eros with all its plagues and pleasures. The performers must outdo each other in a battle of ideas.
They do this with the aid of nostalgia, aerobics, a kangaroo court, conspiracy theories, an infectious pop ballad and quiet philosophical contemplation... while reclaiming the meaning of the word symposium: drinking party.
For a $15 additional fee, enjoy a seven-course snack menu created by Michelin-starred chef, Daniel Burns. Chef Burns co-owns Luksus, which was recently named one of New York’s best new restaurants and one of America’s 50 best new restaurants by Bon Appétit. His first cookbook, Food and Beer, was published in 2016 by Phaidon. Burns created the menu specifically for Pop-Up Love Party with flavours and textures to render the show’s central ideas as viscerally as possible. Pop-Up Love Party is a philosophical feast, a sensory slip n’ slide and a unique theatrical experience from deep in the pulsing Zuppa heart.
It was developed in part through The Collaborations at Canada’s National Arts Centre.
