Conceived by artist Jaime Reyes with Chef Sam Diaz, the experience unfolds around a glowing digital table where stories drift across the surface as each course arrives. The menu is ambitious, moving from caviar tucked inside a fried chicken skin “cannoli” to spiced lamb loin with fermented peaches, before closing with po- lenta tres leches cakes and Campari-soaked cherries. Beyond indulging your taste buds, this experience also engages your other senses. Ambient kitchen sounds are layered into soundscapes, a custom LED lamp shifts with the rhythm of the meal, and text that reveals the quiet decisions and unseen labor that shape every dish are on display. It’s part per- formance, part meditation, and a fully immer- sive experience, inviting diners to think about the work that goes into a great meal. 6:30 p.m. at Mad Arts, 481 S. Federal Hwy., Dania Beach; 754-239-0707; yeswearemadarts.com. Tickets cost $199 via universe.com.
