The initial concept of this project was related to Oswald de Andrade´s Anthropophagite Manifesto and the unusual story of Bishop Sardinha being invited to dinner as honored guest, but then suddenly, a frightened Bishop Sardinha found out that he would be the main course.
Subsequently, this work takes their title from the 1967 film starring Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, and Sidney Poitier, the latter of which portrayed a racially ineligible suitor. Here, in this dislocation I re-imagine this narrative as one where the expected guest does not eat but is −culturally− eaten instead.
This turn is made even more frightening by evidence that “dinner” ran away −from inside house where fetters and a wooden stake wait for a guest− raising questions regarding sovereignty and domination among humankind.
