Lacuna Kitchen

Lacuna Kitchen is an immersive theatre pop-up restaurant by Abhishek Thapar (Afra Tafri creations). It has been performed at Kampnagel Hamburg and the Ruhrfestspiele (2023), and at Oude Kraan Arnhem, Oerol Festival and Grand Theatre Groningen (2025). In most restaurants, the people who cut, cook and serve your food stay invisible — between them and you there is always a gap, a lacuna. Lacuna Kitchen turns the tables: the workers take the lead role, and the audience learns from them. I was part of the team as visual designer, shaping the performance's visual identity and its print material, digital material, including social media posts, website design and stories, as well as helping set the tone for the set design.
