Sorry, Do You Have Any Allergy?
Man Yun Ku, Gene Lee
You are not just here to watch.
Set inside a working kitchen, this participatory theatre experience invites you to step into a shared environment where you will interact, respond, and make decisions alongside others.
You like cooking. You know what you enjoy eating. Certain flavours bring comfort, memory, and a sense of belonging. But there are also things you cannot consume — ingredients your body rejects, tastes that make you uneasy, limits you cannot simply choose to ignore.
Some say that repeated exposure can build tolerance. That if you endure discomfort long enough, you will adapt. But what happens when adaptation is no longer a choice, but an expectation? When sensitivity becomes an inconvenience, and resistance is framed as a failure to fit within a system?
What are you willing to tolerate — and what are you not?
