Clean Your Plate!

Compagnie Achnamara (France)Professional company

55 minutesstudio
Aged four, Augustin never finished his food. Now he has a terrible habit of always cleaning his plate, and lecturing people on how they should eat. Today is his thirtieth birthday, and he's cooking dinner. The ratatouille is on the stove, his friends are arriving soon and everything seems under control. But that's without counting on an unexpected visit, and some unwelcome memories. Around the simmering pot, he is forced to examine his relationship with food, as well as his relationship with himself. Funny solo show about hunger, who we are, and the mess of growing up.

About Compagnie Achnamara (France)

Why see this show?

A warmly comic and quietly moving solo show about food, memory and who we become — accessible for family audiences and genuinely inventive.
