On Sunday night one hundred twenty people honored with their presence the 7th version of SOUP, increasing participation in relation to the previous event to double.

Invited by Kate and Jessica we worked towards the composition of a social event, evoking interaction and increasing the dialectic process within the already existed format.

Confronted with the surprising high number of participants we lost our tight line of thoughts but managed to preserve the most precious of our aims - emergence of collective dialogue.

Siting down to listen to the documentation recording, looking back on what worked and what not, working towards the upcoming dinner @ 555 we formulated a critical response following the narrative of the night.
