Midway through the play, the pork cutlet arrives. In a show where a daughter tells the story of her father, a 30-year kyeongyangsik cook, the audience tastes 1990s-style Western-Korean cutlet in the room. It runs for seven days, Oct. 21 to 27, at BANJUL, a cultural space in Jongno.
The 1990s menu on stage
'Fine Dining: Father's Table' folds a course-style kyeongyangsik meal into the performance. It is the cutlet of the parents' generation, and a curiosity for younger viewers.
Finedining Theater plans and produces the show, and the meal is provided by the venue, BANJUL.
Whose story is it?
The play follows a father who cooked kyeongyangsik for 30 years, told by his daughter, through his fierce and warm life. The audience follows his road and is served a meal along the way.
