High Tea
Jelicious makes furniture for the performance: High Tea
Would you like to go for a walk with us? The table asked the chair. Standing still in the room gives me such a stiff feeling.
With the FURNITURE PIECES project, Jelicious sets the furniture inspired by the La Belle Époque period into motion. An ode to rich materials, a graceful world of colours and opulence that has been brought to life as a collection of colourful curiosities.
The first piece of furniture was The Table. This season Jelicious presents 'Lux, the living lampshades', and together they form the walking performance 'High Tea', premiered at the prestigious festival 'Deventer op stelten' 2024.
Drinking tea has been elevated to an art form in many countries and cultures. In addition, the tea ceremony has been used for centuries as an opportunity for getting together to socialize and have fun.
In the world of Jelicious, the furniture pieces enjoy a cup of imagination with a dash of poetry and a cloud of magic during their own designed ceremony. The lesson of the tea ceremony is as simple as it is deep, every moment in life is unique and will never happen a second time.
This walking performance is suitable for street theatre festivals and other festivals, shopping centres, parties, corporate events and openings.
The walking act can be booked in a group of 3 performers, 2 living table lamps from Lux and the table from Tea for Two. The act is performed on stilts of 65 cm.
