Go See: Cascabel

Love story meets circus meets Mexican feast. Basically three of our fave things rolled into one three-hour show.

Oh. And did we mention there’s comedy and dance involved as well?

Chicago chef-extraordinaire Rick Bayless has joined forces with creators of Lookingglass and award-winning author/producer Heidi Stillman to introduce Cascabel, an interactive dining and wining (via pours from an aerialist…of course) experience combined with a theater production that Bayless himself acts in.

From the show:
"In this sensual tale of love and hunger, the audience will join the guests of the boardinghouse Cascabel at their courtyard table. From his meager kitchen, the mysterious new cook conjures an enchanting cuisine, which seems to give those who eat it fantastic and magical abilities. But he is singularly focused on the proprietress of the house, a melancholy woman with no interest in his food, who barely ever leaves her room. Will she ever try a bite? And what will happen if she does?"

We don't know what will happen if she does, but we can't wait to find out. Get your tickets nowCascabel runs through the end of the month.
