Dinner and Concert in the Dark

Dive into your senses.
Eat a delicious four-course meal.
Bathe in the sounds of live music.
Lose yourself in the dark.

This is a dining in the dark experience you will never forget. The room will be 100% dark. Your eyes will be of no use.

But let's be honest, when it comes to enjoying food, how useful is your eye sight anyway?

It's said that 80% of our sensory input relies on sight. To say it's our primary sense is an understatement. It's our access to the world. It's the gatekeeper to all our experiences. But it's also the sense that is most active, even when it's not the one we want. How often have we closed our eyes to enjoy an experience more? How much more could we access if we could give 80% of our sensory input a rest?

Let's kick sight to the curb for the night 😜

Let's see how much we can taste,
Let's see how much we can smell,
Let's see how much we can experience.

And let's eat with our hands! There will be no one to scold you for having bad table manners. Finally!

Your food will be selected and meticulously prepared by Gerard LaBonté, the chef and movement specialist for the Darkness Experiment. He and the host Dave Booda will take you through an evening of exploring the unknown, and the known — seen through a completely different lens.

Music, poetry, tastes, smells, connection games, and more...
