Prepare for The Waldorf Project’s biggest and most ambitious project yet. This is a genre-defying, multi-sensory dining experience like no other, a fully immersive journey incorporating food (a menu comprising proteins, fibres, carbohydrates, hydration and alcohol – yet transformed and unrecognisable as its individual ingredients), scent, drink, movement, sound and physical environment.
Staged under the concept of the Japanese emotion ‘AMAE’, meaning ‘a temporary surrender in perfect safety’, 7 ‘courses’ will be interwoven with radical immersive theatre, all carefully crafted and choreographed to test your responses and manipulate your emotions as you go on a trip like nothing you will ever have experienced before and ‘arrive reborn’ at the end.
Testing responses and emotions, imposing feelings of tension, discomfort, fear, intrigue and bliss, the Waldorf Project takes gastronomy and places it among environment design, product design, sound design, choreography, costume and textile design. It is through this incomparable synergy and imagination that such a singular collected sensory reaction, or ‘sixth sense’ of emotion, can be orchestrated.
Much like the hero in an epic quest, at journey’s end you arrive ‘reborn’, reunited with your fellow guests and, transformed through the ceremony of sensorial revelation, in a state of heightened communion.
