Restaurant Nouri and Checkpoint Theatre have collaborated to create Singapore's first fusion of fine dining and theatre. Chef Ivan Brehm, known for his adventurous projects, has turned his latest undertaking into an intimate three-hour experience that pairs each of the 10-course meal with a chapter from his personal journey. The play, titled "A Matter Of Taste," chronicles Brehm's life and his experiences working at acclaimed restaurants like Per Se in the US, Fat Duck in the UK, and Mugaritz in Spain.
The 10-act play aims to be its own boundary-breaking experience, taking diners on a journey through Brehm's memories and emotions. The performance features one actor, Ramzie Tahar, who contributes to the storyline by voicing other characters and assisting with food preparation. The innovative approach has received mixed reactions, with some guests laughing and crying during the performance.
Chef Brehm views the experience as an act of devotion, intimacy, and love, showcasing the potential for food to be an artistic medium.
