Manners


A performance piece, playing with the absurdity of dinning etiquettes.

The dinning etiquette are an established rigid system within the social norms of society that as by the very nature of being humans we cannot follow every each one of them and hence are bound to mess up.

For this piece, a dinner party of six was held. Based of the British 18th century dinning etiquettes a list of rules were made, in an attempt to control the behaviour and movements of the dinner. Four participants were given the rules. Two were left unaware and had to adapt to the situation.

In collaboration with Yujune Park and Caspar Lam
