A new theatrical dining experience will let you banquet like a Greek god

Banquet like Bacchus: Divine Proportions promises a night of indulgent fun at The Vaults
Ailis Brennan24 July 2018

A new theatrical dining experience will offer Londoners the chance to party like a Greek deity this autumn.

Divine Proportions will offer indulgent nights of food, drink and entertainment at The Vaults in Waterloo, inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Dionysus, the god of wine. The event will be themed around Dionysian ideals of sensuality, sexual desire and gender fluidity.

The evening events will feature a specially designed five course banquet in “Nirvana”, after which they will be asked to make a “sacrifice”.

Before the meal, guests will be greeted by Dionysus himself, and afterwards will be lead by Dionysus’ Priestesses to a party in The Underworld.

The experience is a collaboration between female-led performance group Shotgun Carousel, immersive theatre designer Samuel Wyer and Celine Lowenthal, founder of the The Drag King Collective.

Laura Drake Chambers, Shotgun Carousel’s founder and creative director of Divine Proportions described the night as “raunchy, sexy, unapologetically loud, and if our audiences have as much fun experiencing this show as we’ve had creating it, we’ll have done Dionysus proud”.

Divine Proportions will run at The Vaults from September 14 to January 12 2019, with tickets starting at £35. For more information, visit thevaults.london
