The Reservation is ’n meesleurende dansteaterproduksie wat ’n spieël ophou vir ons sosiale gewoontes en begeertes. Dié gesinsvriendelike opvoering gaan beslis die eetlus prikkel, aangesien dit afspeel in ’n bedrywige stadsrestaurant waar borde en politiek gedurig bots en ’n à la carte-spyskaart van beweging en betekenis voorgesit word. Dit is ’n ruimte waar vreemdelinge ontmoet, geliefdes stry en families herenig, terwyl kelners tussen werklikhede wals – ’n plek waar die kliënt altyd reg is... en die sjef altyd bedonnerd.

This bold, immersive dance theatre production holds up a mirror to social habits and hungers. It is a family-friendly performance is set in a fast-paced, bustling urban restaurant, where plates and politics collide as an à la carte of movement and meaning is served. A space where strangers meet, lovers quarrel, and families reunite, and waiters waltz between realities – where the customer is always right… and the chef is always off his head.
