Here on the edge of existence, the worth of a life is measured by its actions. In this “non-place” exist unworldly beings, creatures who steal form, who must feast upon the living to understand what it is to live. It is these creatures who decide whether a life goes to the void or reincarnates and lives again. We invite you to experience the feast of judgement, to shuck off your mortal coil, undress yourself of your self and consume a soul, course by course, memory by memory, to decide if the spirit returns to life or is consumed by oblivion.
In this new interpretation of Feast, game designer and artist Sharang Biswas has teamed up with the Creative Team at Intramersive and Executive Chef, Vanessa Still, of the Hawthorne Hotel to present an exclusive experience at the Daughters of Darkness Festival. Guests will be served a unique 5-course menu designed by the team, while Sharang Biswas and actors of Intramersive will guide you through your Feast of Judgement. Each guest will embody and as they eat their way through the menu, they will feast on the memories of human souls. Only a handful of souls will be reborn. Which ones? That’s up to you.

Content Advisories: We are eagerly awaiting what comes from pairing an award winning chef with an award winning game designer. We will be offering a vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu and will update the site as soon as the menu is finished.
The storytelling is in the hands of the audience therefore we cannot anticipate subjects brought up by other audience members.
