Bai Tsai’s Tsai Fan

Iris Luo

The food we cook reflects a search for belonging. In the context of displacement, mobility, and immigration, it can be difficult to replicate recipes in places far from home. In this performance meal, Baitsai Luo explores the taste of home in exile and distance, and how our cultures are represented through food. Inside Baitsai’s cozy living room, the audience is served three dishes and a drink, all originally from China, while listening to Luo’s humorous stories and recollections.
