The Lost Supper is a response to the experience of lockdown. It explores the notion of togetherness with the constraint of physical separation. Using Da Vinci’s fresco of the Last Supper with Jesus and his Apostles as a visual inspiration, the piece invites thirteen performers to perform alone at home. Music and video become media to create unity- all brought into a collage for one shared experience around La Grande Table- inviting audiences to reflect on what we gained as well as what we lost during the lockdown.

The Lost Supper was exhibited in the Seychelles Lockdown Biennale 2020-2021; a virtual exhibition of the National Arts Council of Seychelles.
