An amazing story from one of my favourite parts of Like Water For Chocolate. Excellent opener.

First year university, first English course, first novel, Italo Calvino If On A Winter's Night A Traveller: altered linear narrative is a joy and liberating and subversive. This show allowed such breadth: audience, guest, tech, concepts to introduce in an improv anarchy, 4 bodice genres on a literary charcuterie, with a vapour of Fabio stuck in the lights. Shazam!

It's one thing to curate the gathering of concepts, but to then spin a quarter of a night into a different sub-genre is a high-wire act. To do it, live in front of people, is without a net.
