Tafelmusik

Sound artist and composer Tobias Koch presents an evening of Tafelmusik: a multi-sensory and interactive dinner event that combines sound, music, poetry, smell, and taste.
Participants will be seated at a big dinner table placed in the halls of Villa Maraini, while listening to musical performances and readings by the invited artists Mohamed Almusibli, Jazmina Figueroa, Emiliano Maggi, Francesco Tomasi and Tobias Koch himself.

Bringing their food artistry to the stage, Aterraterra from Palermo have been invited to talk about their work and bring their own culinary delights from Sicily that will be available for tasting, smelling and drinking throughout the evening.
The event will be the occasion to enjoy a culinary and sonic delight, a feast for all the senses!

Aterraterra is a multidisciplinary project that combines sustainable agriculture and artistic and activist practices. They develops eco-sustainable ways of growing and multiplying seeds of ancient and rare vegetables. Their cultivation practices focus on the protection of biodiversity, food education and farmers’ rights. Aterraterra attempts to question the narrative constructions around food plants, also by highlighting their past, which is often rooted in identitarian issues, racism and colonialism.
