Our world has become noisy, digital, connected, isolating and decidedly un-human. We eat alone, disassociated, while consuming content. Depression, unstructured eating and obesity are the epidemics of our times. How can we re-connect to our human nature? How can we find emotional closure in eating together?

Commensal is a story told in the dark about what it is to be human through what it is to taste. Award-winning chocolate storytellers Understory will take you into your senses, memories, and emotions through chocolates crafted in their Bristol Laboratory.

Understory are an Arts/Science duo whose work explores how flavours make us feel emotions in adventurous, experimental chocolates.
