Neither There, Nor Here is an original, multimedia, interdisciplinary memory play-meets-cooking show directed by A Host of People co-director Sherrine Azab and collectively created by the ensemble. Neither There, Nor Here focuses on the experience of people with liminal identities of race, gender, culture and sexuality who live between so-called traditional binaries to create their own cultures that move beyond more typical either/or identities—all through the lens of a live televised cooking show. Azab will act as host and “chef de cuisine” while the five other performers will each lead a segment that delves into their personal identities. As the performers tell their stories, family photos will be projected onto the set by Azab who controls a live-feed camera and each story will spill into other more theatrical modes from table-top theater, to strange dances, to a pop song sing-along.
