This chapter of Nourishment delves into a myriad of questions and feelings surrounding belief, religion, afterlife, spirit and soul. When does belief divide us and when does it bring us together? In today’s world as well as many other times in our history, it can seem that beliefs do more dividing than bringing together. Why Believe? explores what it means to believe in something, what it feels like to lose faith, and if the act of believing even matters at all.

Why Believe? builds on Gwendolyn&Guests’ mission of creating sensory and experiential performances. Immersed in a richly textured, polyphonic environment, audience members will participate in the construction of their experience, interacting actively with food, drink, projection designs, and set elements. “Why Believe?” probes the roles of individual agency, illusion, and knowledge in the formation of beliefs, the audience will be asked to consider and reconsider the choices they have made as active participants in the evening’s performance. Ticket prices include two small bites, each paired with wine, beer, or spirits; unlike in past Nourishment performances, the guests will select the food themselves. Nourishment is committed to the theme of locality, and has teamed up with numerous local Denver/Boulder purveyors to honor our commitment of using companies who are local, organic, and working with sustainability.
