THE FOOD
Mi Casa Stu Casa is a tour de force of the Bristol catering scene. A collaboration between Kristjan & Alexis of Mi Casa Pop Up and Stuart Seth of Seth's Kitchen. Kristjan & Alexis met at the Riverstation in Bristol, Alexis having trained as a chef in Canada and Kristjan leading front of house at the Riverstation for a decade. Alexis then headed up the kitchen at Papadeli whilst Kristjan joined Bordeaux Quay. In 2010, Mi Casa Pop Up was born, a series of pop up restaurants in eclectic locations around Bristol.
Stuart was head chef at the legendary Rocinantes kitchen, later Quatier Vert. One of Bristol's most respected restaurants the QV kitchen also catered for esteemed guests at Highgrove. Stuart then led the kitchen at Ocean Tapas Bar, where he perfected Spanish tapas and the Sunday roast! In 2011, Stuart opened Seth's Kitchen, one of Bristol's leading caterers.
Mi Casa Stu Casa's collective experience means we are very happy to have them on board. (full menu below)
THE CABARET
THE FOREST OF WICKED DELIGHTS is themed around the classic tales of the Brothers Grimm, and is our extraordinary and original cabaret. Drawing together local and international artists from the worlds of theatre, circus, puppetry and the frankly unclassifiable, we have specially commissioned this astonishing show and are VERY excited about it.
Headlining acts will be Burlesque legend Amber Topaz and Stephen Williams (Australian aerialist and hand balancer), who will also be performing their beautiful dance duet, supported by a cast made up of Bristol's own Pickled Image and Stickleback Plasticus, all directed by Emma Lloyd. We will also have a very special guest, showcasing the stunning voice of one of Bristol's youngest up and coming talents, Mali Lines Harvey.
'Amber Topaz an explosion of charisma and stage presence unmatched, music and songs, comedy and seduction'. GQ Magazine http://www.ambertopaz.co.uk
Expect a melee of Grimm's characters, love, loss, incredible skill, dance, live music from Jazz Disaster, beautiful people and a creepy old woman doing contortionism Ewww!
