An evening like no other awaits at Unity Theatre as La Feria 2025 presents a powerful double-bill of music poetry and live theatre — with real food cooked on stage. This unique event blends performance and cuisine in an intimate thought-provoking celebration of Latin American identity artistry and storytelling.
Opening the evening is Chile’s electrifying La Charawilla the musical persona of Daniela Sepúlveda whose radical blend of ancestral Chilean folk traditions and punk-infused energy promises to captivate. A singer and payadora rooted in the poetic form of décima La Charawilla breathes new life into Chile’s traditional sounds with a bold and contemporary voice. Armed with her transposed guitar and defiant spirit her music is as poetic as it is political offering an unforgettable live experience steeped in cultural resistance and pride.
Following this powerful opening Peruvian theatre-maker Pepa Duarte takes the stage with her internationally acclaimed solo performance Eating Myself — a sensual multi-layered show that invites audiences into her kitchen as she cooks a meal live on stage. Fusing storytelling original music movement and mouthwatering aromas Duarte explores themes of body image belonging and self-acceptance through the lens of food and Latin American womanhood. Deeply personal and emotionally resonant Eating Myself is a heartfelt act of cultural sharing celebrating the rituals and memories tied to what and how we eat.
The performance concludes with a post-show discussion and communal soup sharing — the very same dish prepared during the show — offering a rare opportunity to reflect connect and digest together in the spirit of community.
