On 11th and 12th of April, multi-disciplinary artist Inês Neto dos Santos and choreographer Helen Cox collaborate for a unique evening of contemporary dance and food, bringing an innovative spin on what a dance and a meal can be, individually, or together.

Mesa is a project founded by dos Santos that challenges our encounters with art and creates platforms for creative conversation. It exists in the form of various eating experiences, every time in collaboration with a different artist, whose work serves as inspiration for the menu. The project explores food as a global language, seeing it as a catalyst for discussion and new connections.

The choreography, double pendulum created and performed by Cox with dancer Andrew Oliver, is a duet inspired by the motion of two connected pendulums in motion, creating complex and uncertain patterns as metaphor for the relationships we have with those people close in our lives. Danced to the music of electronic artist, Floating Points, you see two people pushing, pulling, flourishing and faltering but never stop.

Guests are invited to join us at arebyte Gallery and experience a dinner and a dance piece intertwined: the menu will borrow themes and aesthetics from double pendulum, interpreting them through flavours, textures and colours. This immersive, multi-sensory experience aims to introduce new audiences to contemporary arts and dance in an interesting and stimulating environment.
