Ancestral Table is a shared meal and live interdisciplinary performance (music, text, film) that examines the relationships between ecology, migration, cultural inheritance and maternal legacy through my Thai mother’s family recipes. As the meal is served, audiences are immersed in original music entwined with text from my mother’s personal memoirs and film layering personal archives with newly-made media. Through deeply experienced sense memory, storytelling and conviviality, audiences are transported to the sounds, environments, time, space and place of my ancestors.

Through this multi-sensory approach of combined performance and meal, Ancestral Table engages audiences at the intersections of cuisine, ecology, politics, migration, personal histories and memory.
