Founded in 2016, Hot Kitchen is an experimental theatre and performance collective based in Chicago. We devise performances and experiences exploring stupidity at its core. Our work is untethered from linear plot structures and logical reason, often resulting in a potential for genius, and even more often failing to reach it. Our focus is on creating truth in a sea of chaos, paired with cheesy choreographed movement.
