Real Institute present `Bwyd Sonique` / You May Fund
5pm Jan Thursday 22 / West Wing (past Theatre foyer), Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff
Project Outline
Sound: Simon Proffitt
Food: Karine Décorne
Bwyd Sonique is a series of multi-sensory improvised performances for small audiences that will nourish, entertain and enlighten: an experience that audience members see, hear, smell, touch and taste…
Each performance is intimate and personalised. Karine will create delicious, mouth-watering food and drink whilst Simon will process and amplify the sounds of cooking via microphones and digital audio software, uncovering the hidden musicality of the kitchen: the steady and insistent rhythm of stirring, the drones and hisses of heat-on-pan, the chatter and bubble of boiling water.
At the end of each performance, audience members will be given the food - their consumption of the materials completes the performance.
Bwyd Sonique will be performed at the following times on all three days of the Festival apart from Saturday - as performances start at 2pm not 12pm
