The performers wore enormous checkered skirts that unfolded into picnic blankets, upon which a festive picnic was served \u2014 complete with champagne, strawberries, and other delicacies. Visitors were invited to join in and become part of this intimate and playful performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"862\">The first performance took place on The Flying Grass Carpet at the Westergas site in Amsterdam. This monumental temporary artwork, developed by HUNK-design and ID Eddy, resembles a giant, cheerful green picnic blanket and transforms any urban space into an accessible and inviting place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1114\">Following its success, the performance was later restaged on The Flying Grass Carpet at Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam. There too, A BLISSful Picnic introduced a surprising sense of softness, beauty, and connection into the public realm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1262\">This performance was curated and produced by Mothership, playfully demonstrating how art, theatre, and the city can seamlessly merge.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; inverted_device_order=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;343319&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-108155&#8243; medias=&#8221;4875,4874,4880,4879,4877,4876,4878,4872&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon,caption&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4873,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[58],"class_list":["post-4871","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-community-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4871"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9174,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4871\/revisions\/9174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=4871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
