Un bon gros poème à avaler

4 - 7 march 2025, Le Pommier, Neuchâtel (CH).

A culinary performance by Camille Mermet

In this new creation, Camille Mermet invites you to take part in the preparation of a meal that you will all enjoy together, as she offers you the story of culinary crossings. As usual, Camille will offer you an immersive, narrative experience, in which sound will play a fundamental role. It will be a story, of course. A pretty story that tells the story of some of the paths that cooking has mapped out for us. A pretty story in a big poem that you'll all eat at the end. And as the artist would always like us not to know when it starts and when it stops, she'll be happy to know that you've gone home with something in your belly, a big poem to digest...!

The dynamics of coexistence as a culinary performance

by Sara Koller, Ninutsa Shatberashvili & Manuela Luterbacher

On a journey to the Caucasus, the artists Manuela Luterbacher and Sara Koller explored the dynamics of living together: To which resources are we entitled? How can we create a togetherness that is acceptable for all?

They have translated their reflections and experiences into an artistic language which they presented already in the Center of Contemporary Art in Tbilisi and the Dampfzentrale in Bern. Hospitality is at the heart of community. Ninutsa Shatberashvili, a Georgian food performer, travels to Switzerland to add fragrance and flavor to the feeling of togetherness.
