Performance DETAILS

Pasta Percussion: SOLD OUT

Presented in the 2010 Melbourne Food & Wine Festival in collaboration with Raw Materials and chef Glenn Flood.

This event will see Speak’s first exploration of the nexus between food and sound through the experience of cooking and music performance.

The audience will be progress through a five-course meal in which each dish is carefully coupled and conceptually intertwined with a percussion piece. The basic platform will be the relationship between pasta and percussion and the way in which the two senses correlate.

Pasta and Percussion can be traced back to a common ancestor word ‘kwet-’ in the pre-historic language Proto-Indo-European.

Over millennia, ‘kwet-’ has evolved into words related to shaking, striking or sprinkling – all actions of cooking and performing with percussion. Such words include squash, discuss, paste and pastry and related words in Italian, Hindi, Persian and Greek.
