DreamExpo 2024 NEBtalk
Discovering Nebula
Picture this, as you step into the grandeur of the Pacific Science Center’s renowned PACCAR IMAX theater - you are not just attending an event, you are witnessing a transformation, and a foray into the unknown. Nearly 15 years ago, Nordo invited you to reimagine the dining experience. Now we invite you to reimagine the dreaming experience. NEBtalk invites you to explore the mysteries of the universe in a captivating an unpredictable experience. Is this theater or science? The answer is yes. From the forces that shape our nightly dreams to the cosmic wonders of NEBULA , prepare to be awestruck by dream collector Devorah de Leon and Dream Scientist Dr. Basil Sangalang. Hosted by the visionary minds behind Nordo and the Odd & the Curious Society, your evening will begin with intrigue and indulgence. If you purchase the VIP Pass (only 10 tickets remain) you’re invited to a cocktail hour, (a glass of a signature cocktail, spirit forward or spirit free, is included with the VIP ticket,) at 6:00pm with nibbles by Nordo. General Admission passes ($40) will join at 6:30pm for a Dream Mingle. 7:30pm ‘Discovering Nebula’ begins in the Paccar Theater. Our speakers promise to unveil never seen before dream technology, including footage from actual dream transmissions. No irrevocable damage will be done to the space/time continuum, but you still don't want to miss it. As the night goes on, you’ll rub shoulders with the speakers and fellow enthusiasts on the Dinosaur Terrace for the post-talk social hour. And every guest will leave with DreamTech to take home in their pockets.

About Nordo
Nordo is an intimate theatrical experience featuring imaginative cuisine and atmospheric music, where artists create & play, while audiences are cared for with seamless Service. In our home artists serve one another & the broader community. We believe in our artists being paid fairly, our food being sourced locally, & our work being brave, educational & always entertaining. OUR HISTORY: In 2009, Nordo launched a hybrid of the pop-up restaurant and underground theater. Relying on relationships with local farmers, ranchers, fisherman, composers, actors, and visual artists, Nordo serves up modern cuisine while thrilling audiences with the history, myth, science, and politics of food. Each show, performed at venues all over the Seattle area, ran for 6-8 weeks for an almost always sold-out crowd. Previous venues have ranged from the warehouse of a chocolate factory to a former museum and each has provided a unique backdrop for an immersive experience. Our audiences have enjoyed a 1960’s spy farce in a 737 headed for the Seattle World’s Fair where they learned the secrets of convenience food and the Green Revolution (To Savor Tomorrow,) learned the history of the cocktail in a jazzy speakeasy in the 1930’s (Sauced), and took a tour around Nordo’s timeless museum of food, eating each of five courses in a different local artist’s installation (Café Nordo’s Cabinet of Curiosities). Nordo recreated The Black Lodge and redefined breakfast in our homage to David Lynch's Twin Peaks that took murder mystery dinner theater to the next level here in Seattle (Lost Falls). In 2015 The Culinarium at Nordo opened in historic Pioneer Square. Committed to the intersection between Art, Performance, and Cuisine, The Culinarium at Nordo provides a playground for the imagination where flavors and stories come alive in an intimate, immersive setting. The Culinarium not only hosts Nordo's immersive theatrical experiences but is also a crossroads between the culinary and performing arts.The Culinarium is open year round with two “Main Stage Shows” and other exciting programs that are a playground for other artists and chefs to come together, creating an unparalleled arts experience the best dinner theater in Seattle. Awarded the Seattle Times’ prestigious Footlight Award for Excellence in Theater six years in a row, Nordo has become a Seattle institution.
