From My Father’s Table
2024-25 BFF Project Grant

From My Father’s Table is an intimate performance art experience that blends live storytelling, documentary-style film, and a shared meal to explore the deep connection between food and memory. The project offers a glimpse into the old world, where food is more than sustenance—it is a vessel for love and intergenerational transmission. The performance culminates in a communal act: kafta, a traditional Lebanese dish, freshly grilled and wrapped in bread, is served to the audience, inviting all to not only witness but participate in the narrative and reflect on the tastes, smells, and rituals that connect us to one another.
