Dinner 59 (40) started with the performance Team 59, where all the participants were ultimately marked with the number 59. The recipe for the soup was obtained from Linda Mary Montano. During a previous event in the EFA Gallery, after her performance about old age, Linda handed an autographed AARP magazine to Irina where the soup recipe was later found on page 59. The recipe had two components, soup and cream. Participants were invited to draw number 59 on their soup with the cream.
