The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival pairs Hot Pepper, Air Conditioner, and the Farewell Speech (from Tokyo, Japan) with a long table dining experience at The Irish Heather during Dine Out Vancouver.
A group of office temps plans a farewell party for a recently laid off colleague. Will a Motsu hot pot restaurant do? Someone is obviously tampering with the climate-control system and it's getting out of hand. Deadpan dialogue, layered with elaborate gestural vocabulary and brilliant choreography, sheds light on the subtext of professional office etiquette, water cooler gossip and Japanese corporate culture. In Japanese with English subtitles.
This performance includes a post-show talkback led by Kathleen Ritter

The Push International Performing Arts Festival pairs Looking for a Missing Employee (from Beirut, Lebanon) with a three-course dinner at The Opus Hotel's Cento Notti.
Looking for a Missing Employee is a thoughtful and provocative performance puzzle by Lebanese artist Rabih Mroué which explores the true story of a man who disappears from his low-level post at the Ministry of Finance in Beirut, never to be seen again. Merging brilliant storytelling with live sketch art, Mroué leads the audience on a perplexing search for the "truth", amid a sea of documents, clippings, photos and found objects. Supported by the Roundhouse.

The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival pairs El Pasado es un Animal Grotesco (Buenos Aires, Argentina) with a three-course long-table dining experience at Salt Tasting Room.
El Pasado es un Animal Grotesco "The Past is a Grotesque Animal" is a humorous and moving portrait that takes place atop a slowly spinning turntable stage; a reminder of time's ceaseless march. Guided by a narrative voice-over, the audience is granted access to a string of defining moments in the touching and tumultuous lives of the four characters. This performance is saturated with moments that illustrate how quickly and easily real life can transform into fiction and back again.
In Spanish with English subtitles. This performance includes a post-show talkback with the artists.
