Come Eat With Me

Come Eat With Me is an intimate, participatory performance that explores the layered relationship between caste and food. Through personal stories, oral histories, literature, and academic insights, the piece invites audiences into a sensory and emotional journey—one that unpacks themes of oppression and solidarity, grief and joy, and the everyday resilience of Oppressed Caste communities.

Rooted in lived experience and collective memory, Come Eat With Me transforms the act of eating—a practice often shaped by caste hierarchies—into a space for reflection, connection, and community building. The performance culminates in a shared meal where audience members are invited to eat together and share their own stories around caste and food.

This work speaks to those interested in performance, food cultures, and social justice. It offers a powerful and immersive experience that reveals how culinary traditions can carry both historical trauma and the quiet triumphs of survival and resistance.
