A Hunger Banquet is a dramatization of the inequality that perpetuates poverty in the world.
Guests are assigned roles as they enter the banquet, these roles represent different income levels around the world. What each person receives for dinner depends on the role they are playing, so while some have more than they can eat, others don’t have enough to eat or any food at all.
A Hunger Banquet is an interactive opportunity for people to see and feel first hand the effects of poverty. It also offers the unique opportunity for people to take a problem and work together to generate solutions.
