Maria-Rapaz (Tomboy)

What if the dinner was the play? Maria-Rapaz (Tomboy) unfolds around a table, where food is the plot and eating is the dramaturgy. This is not theatre about food — it is theatre through food.Set between a pristine fine-dining kitchen and the warm chaos of a home kitchen, this work follows two women as they cook, eat, talk, and reveal what often goes unseen. Drawing on Portuguese family recipes and queer experience, Maria-Rapaz asks: what counts as art? Who gets recognised? And what kinds of knowledge travel when we share a meal? The audience is invited to sit, to taste, and to witness a story about what it means to be sustained — not just fed — in a world that rewards spectacle over care.Tickets are available at two prices: one includes light bites served as part of the performance (not a full meal), and a lower-priced option is available for audiences who wish to watch without food.
