description One of the most important functions of human life, eating food is also a very frequent and meaningful scene in contemporary theatre productions. In these scenes and in the frame of the consumerist culture of late capitalism, eating food represent sometimes voraciousness and gluttony in a contrast with ultimate hunger or refer to “haute cuisine” and cannibalism. Rodrigo García’s Golgota picnic (Théâtre du Rond Point, Paris, 2011 and Athens Festival, 2012) and Bleue, saignante, à point, carbonisée (Avignon and Athens Festival, 2007), as well as Vassilis Ziogas’s Restaurant “Humanismus” (Paris 1958) are three of the plays that will be examined in this paper.
