Participatory performance by Fede Fantini 'Horizontal Kitchen'

Artist and facilitator Fede Fantini invites you to take part in a participatory performance centred around the act of making food together.

Horizontal kitchen is a polymorphous research around the dining table as an informal space where stories circulate freely and things don't always go as planned.

Participants are invited to bring one ingredient of their choice. Sitting around the table, we get to know each other through the ingredients we brought and what they mean to us. The meal that we'll prepare will be a common creative act that combines different culinary traditions in new, unforeseeable ways.

The kitchen is a playfield that allows us to grow in our capacity to work collaboratively. It is a space to address cultural differences and similarities, insecurities, values and emotions. While most of us have learnt to cook with some form of verticality – there is a recipe to follow, or a tradition to abide by – horizontal kitchen strives to create room for learning in conversation with others.

During the whole process, meta cards are available. They offer questions and reflections on group dynamics, and can support participants in growing their awareness of their role in the group, while being engaged in the cooking process.

The cards support us in maintaining an open dialogue throughout the cooking process, addressing our uncertainties and the weight that each person's background is bringing to the collective effort.

The performance is part of exhibition and public program 'Dreams of dreams of dreams'.
