Immoral Recipes (2023-2024)

,

Sound drama for voice and live electronics

Literature, especially poetry, is full of texts on the pleasures of food, the voluptuousness of wine,  the ambiguity of the art of seduction and its relationship to good food. There are numerous French expressions and synonyms: devouring, swallowing, nibbling, ingesting, gorging, eating, biting, lunching or dining, tasting, slurping, pecking, gulping, eating with relish. Gourmets are everywhere!
The act of sitting down at the table produces a multitude of innuendos in our chidish imaginations. Together Brigitte Cirla and Sébastien Béranger have created a musical show on this ambiguous theme, the theme suggested by the sensual, poetic and nourishing pleasures of the mouth.

A quasi-radio show performed and transformed in real time in front of the public

Immoral Recipes is based on the book of the same name by Manuel Vásquez Montalbán. In his preface, the author states that “Each of these recipes is a bid for an alternative morality, a hedonistic morality that is within the reach of the disciples of instant gratification, consisting as it does in the use and perhaps even the abuse of basic knowledge: knowing how to cook,  how to eat, attempting to learn to love…”.
The duo of Brigitte Cirla and Sébastien Béranger base their writing on a joyful premise.
