SANTO FOOD TURISMO

18 March 2009, 20:00 – 23:00

Pranzo Tattile – Food for the Sense of Touch

presented by the Italian Embassy HANOI – Cultural season
at Goethe-Institut Hanoi

The Goethe Insitute will be transformed for one evening into the Ristorante Santo Food Turismo, the tables will be laid and the guests will be served everything – except food. The recipes come from the futuristic cookbook “Cucina futurista”, published by Italian artist Marinetti in 1932, an extravagant and playful poetic-political manifesto which was seriously meant but has not always been taken seriously.

A team of 5 Italian and German artists will serve pictures, music and words – an experimental Music theater which feeds the spirit and the ears.

The Ristorante Santo Food Turismo (a play on the word “Futurismo”) is touring 32 European and Asian cities, and each of the 32 menus from Marinetti’s cookbook will be presented, one in each city.
