Come dressed in red. Bring words with you.

This is a collective dinner-performance unfolding through three acts of food, readings, ritual, and shared gestures. Guests are invited to wear red and to bring words, poems, proverbs, songs, or other texts that speak to ideas of freedom and abolition. These contributions become part of an evening made collectively by those around the table.

Conceived by Filipa da Rocha Nunes and Claudio Bueno, in collaboration with the artists J. Simões and Dandha da Hora, this dinner brings Passagem (2024), by the collective Explode! Platform, into the setting of a dinner, where distinct practices and traditions meet through a sequence of shared actions. Food and drinks, conceived with Frankie Mundo, become part of the experience and its rhythm.

This red dinner is approached not as a single symbol with a fixed meaning, but as a thread connecting different histories, bodies, and gestures. Across spirituality, celebration, and resistance, the evening asks what can happen when these associations are placed together and experienced collectively.
