Join us for an interactive five-night performance-and-social-action hybrid event, re-envisioning the legacy of the "hero" in Western culture from medieval knights to today and seeking to practice new realities in community. With possibilities for multi-day game play or a single night's experience, audiences can join a diverse body of artists and activists in a journey of boundary crossing, soul-troubling, and action through both avant garde and traditional performances and social-action events -- set inside the framework of a re-imagined medieval feast. For details on the schedule and the presenters, please visit the Feast Your Famine website and follow the event on Instagram at feastyourfamine.
This event is a result of Wistaria Project's Re-Residency, in which we "re-gift" the CWP Residency we received to an exciting diversity of performers and activists. Each Re-Resident will present their work on one night of the festival -- and the Re-Resident Cohort has worked together to devise First Night and Last Night -- the opening and closing of the feast -- interactive, hybrid performance/events to bring us together to imagine, engage, and take action here and now.

A note from Wistaria Project: When choosing how much you'll pay for your ticket, we ask that you really take a moment and think about it — about your circumstances and your situation inside of U.S. and global societies. If the suggested price — or more — is not a hardship for you, please consider contributing at that amount. Paying at least the suggested price makes it more possible for us to sustain these kinds of events, on a feast-from-famine, small-footprint model, rather than a corporate-style one — and to have more revenue to distribute among the presenters, all of whom, including us, will receive an equal share. Regardless of how much you pay, you are most welcome to join us. What's most important is your presence and participation. We thank you for your generosity and the work of fixing the world you do every day.
