Keti Koti - Diner Code Noir
A culinary journey to better understand the cultural and colonial legacy of global trade routes and their effects on Caribbean cuisine and culture. Code Noir was the name of a 17th-century decree that limited the freedom of the enslaved in the French colonies of the New World.
At The National Theater, Code Noir is transformed into an immersive dining experience that shows guests how the global exchange of goods has influenced contemporary cuisine – for better or for worse.
Join us to discover the chronology of Caribbean cuisine through four major eras, from native cassava to Indian chana. This 4-course dining experience is a collaboration between chef and culinary activist Lelani Lewis, spoken word artist Rachel Rumai Diaz and artist Suzanne Bernhardt.
