Alongside a busy chef-actor, the performers, including a musician, a dancer-actress, and a mistress of ceremony, lead us to a place somewhere between Africa and Europe, where all the ingredients come together for a great celebration of the senses. Doumbia thinks of the show as a \u2018documentary Eucharist\u2019 and also encourages us to think about the political dimension of food. Reflecting with humor and tenderness on their origins and modes of culture, foodstuffs, here given a voice, she challenges common preconceptions to change what we think of as having \u2018always been,\u2019 or \u0026nbsp;\u2018established fact.\u2019\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETalk by writer, director and actress Eva Doumbia on her theater project with the Villa Albertine.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Talk by writer, director and actress Eva Doumbia on her theater project with the Villa Albertine."}],"uid":"36009","created_gmt":"2025-10-24 18:36:16","changed_gmt":"2025-10-24 18:39:31","author":"cwhittle9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-11-07T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2025-11-07T11:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-11-07T11:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-11-07 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-11-07 16:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-11-07 16:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Scholars Event Theater, Room 1280, Price Gilbert Memorial Library","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1284","name":"School of Modern Languages"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAndrea Jonsson\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:ajonsson7@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eajonsson7@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
