Hot Nights see artists and chefs take over the COOKED public BBQ for an evening of performance and hot salty snacks.

For one night only, STEAK FILM, a moveable underground cinema based in Seoul, will take over the BBQ space with an interactive cinema and snacks with Long Prawn. Presenting a Korean ‘meat tray’ of bite-size film excerpts selected by the whim of the audience. Expect prime slices of Korean B Films, bones of historic TV moments, and some cross-cultural offcuts. What ends up on the grill is entirely up to the crowd.

Tickets secure a snack on entry, live music and a performance plated for a BBQ stage.

This event occurs within the COOKED public BBQ space designed by Mikhail Savin Rodrick Projects and Long Prawn, with BBQ designed and built by Mike Hewson.

COOKED has been commissioned with Principal Partner support from the Naomi Milgrom Foundation. This project received Cash to Create through the Fringe Fund. Dudo Wook's international residency is proudly supported by the Playking Foundation.
