Every course
is a cue.
We write a day around one person or a small group and stage it in the real city with actors. They do not know.
The restaurant cooks the dinner. We write everything that happens around the table — and cast the room with actors.

How a dinner can go
One example: a fifteenth wedding anniversary. He books a table for eight; she thinks it is dinner with friends. In fact the maître d’, the waiters and the next table are our actors, and the evening is written about the two of them. Every dinner is written from a blank page.
Not everything happens at the table.

What stays after the evening
Until the last course it was simply a very good dinner.
Every guest goes home with something that was written for them.
It was not on the menu. Nobody at the table will forget who carried it out.
And one record of the evening — signed by everyone at the table, in one copy.
What they said afterwards
“I was completely overwhelmed throughout the entire day by all the surprises, by getting to experience things that my heart had only ever dreamed of, and by how incredible all the people around me were.”
“It is not often I get really WOWed, but this one deserves sharing.”
“Teleport instantly understood my vision, and together we teleported an entire conference through a couple of major structural changes — with a resounding success.”
“Teleport is visionary and playful and reawakens, at an essential level, what it is to be human.”
Tell us about your table.
We write the evening.
Who sits at it, and what they would never expect from a dinner. Your guests; our room.
Questions
How much does a dinner cost? –
There is no price list, because there is no standard evening. The cost depends on the cast, the length of the evening and what has to be built for it. We share it after the first conversation, as one figure for everything: the script, a cast rehearsed for weeks, every door in the evening, and the telling afterwards. It is not a thing in a box. It is an evening that is retold for years — and one record of it, in one copy.
Will they know? –
No. You know; your guests do not. Until the last course it is simply a very good dinner.
How many guests? –
Usually eight at one table — the number the plot works best for; from four to twelve if the room allows. All of them are yours; the cast is the room around you.
Who arranges the places? –
The restaurant, the room, the kitchen: by us or by a partner we introduce, depending on the story. You never book anything yourself.
Do the guests have to act? –
No. A seat and an appetite. The cast does the acting; the guests do the eating.
Where can it happen? –
In the city you name. Teleport is based in Singapore; the cast is assembled for that city, and the roles that carry the story are played by our own people.
How long does it take to prepare? –
Six to ten weeks. We walk the city once before we write, and we rehearse in the room before the evening.
Will it be filmed? –
Film and photography — by request. Otherwise nothing is recorded.
