Maison Foo, the East Midland’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary, brings 2 of their multisensory storytelling experiences to LAC as part of our ‘Home Is Where The Art Is’ season.
Join us, as our global hosts bring new stories to the table, sharing personal anecdotes from their homelands in this intimate and heart warming dining table experience.
Using audio story, visual art, theatre design and live conversation, Maison Foo bring to audiences an infectiously joyous celebration of this very special community.
Audience comments:
‘What an incredible experience, if only everyone could come and have a seat at your table’
‘Intensely moving experience…a joy…it will stay with me a long time’
