A theatre of smell

Imagine yourself sitting in a theater. Lines of people. Expecting the show to be experience of eyes and ears.....
At the end of this post I added a photo of a stage performance i went to lately.
A group of actors who cannot either see or hear. And the whole show is about how it is living in a world which enable us to fulfill its experience with our senses, and not be able to do so fully.
In different words, being more used in our society, how is it feels to be disabled.....
what's innovative about that?
Not the space
Not the group
And not us, as an audience
At the beginning the actors are sitting on a very long table
And each actor tells its own story in his own way, pressing dough and making shapes...Speaking each to the other as there is no one there, no audience in the room, and that is how you get to know them and about them, a pick of each....
By then they put the dough which became to shape as breads into an oven,
we visual
each actor
perform
a solo stage along the time
and
smell...smell... smell....
the fresh baking bread.
By using whole of our senses becomes a full celebration, it is life, fully and happy.
At the end of the show all the audience is invited by the actors to the stage to eat and meet them one to one.
I shouldn't add it was an outstanding experience.
real life.
