Invited by COAL, on 18 May at Gaité Lyrique, then 25 May at Zone Sensible (Saint-Denis). A proposal by Julie Navarro, with the complecity of Stéphane Bou.
Julie Navarro - top chef-artist - invites the public seated around a large banquet to make cocktails from dystopian landscapes, using Clitoria flowers and Pandanus leaves. Is it good? Is it bad? Whatever the taste, it's to be drunk to the dregs. The purge is a collective one, and the audience's tears of desolation, which will be collected with onion peelings, go to make up the mixture on offer at this festive and melancholy tasting.
The crocodile tears prompt the artist to collect the confidences of the spectator-participants in the performance. They will tell us about their anxieties about our ecological future, of which the landscape cocktails are a representation. The diagnosis is gloomy and lucid, which does not preclude humour.
The culinary artist proposes joyful remedies from the garden to soothe the uneasiness expressed. Let's give the flowers we eat - Borage (oyster flavour), Melissa (aniseed lollipop), Mint (chocolate or strawberry) - a festive taste and phytotherapeutic virtues. They can be used to treat headaches, sleep disorders, digestive crises, etc.
The end of the session is marked by the completion of the edible landscapes ‘L'étang interdit à la baignade’ and ‘La fonte des glaces’. It's purge time.
Thanks to Loïc Fel, Lauranne Germond, Athéna Germond, Valentine Busquet, Sara Dufour, Lily De Villeneuve, Elisa La Grua, Lucas Vachez, Olivier Darné, Emma Spencer, Anaïs Gauduchon, Stéphane Bou, Simon Bou.
