Just finished watching and love it. But, can someone please explain the meaning of the soup and art. She is explaining the difference between soup and art to her space chums. At the end her space chums say the play was soup the audience was art. I think i understand what it mean, but I just wanted to make sure i got the correct meaning.
shareShe refers to Andy Warhol's painting of a can of Campbell's tomato soup. That's the art, not to be confused with its inspiration, the actual can of soup.
The "alien friends" refer to the play they see as something that appears to be art, but when examined more closely, the real art is the effect the play has on the strangers who gather in the dark to reach simultaneous catharsis through laughter and tears.
