CONVIVIO Meetings of Wines and Senses

DonPasta in Food Sound System on 1st August

in the participation of Mario De Simoni (guitar), Pietro Martinelli (double bass), Lorenzo Capello (drums).



Guest of the winery of Annalisa Zorzettig is an artist that the New York Times has defined, in a recent article, a "food activist". His motto is "if you have a problem ... just add oil". This is, in a nutshell, Donpasta – to say, Daniele De Michele – cook and poet, environmentalist and outlandish.

Donpasta will bring in Convivio – Meetings of Wines and Senses, his Food Sound System project, on 1st August, at 8:30 p.m. The show, compared to previous events, will be held at the farm of Annalisa Zorzettig in Spessa di Cividale del Friuli (UD), via Strada Sant’Anna, 37.

Food Sound System is a multimedia project which combines cooking, music, folk tale and images, for a show at 360° among the contemporary theater, the tales of an old storyteller and the misadventures of a clumsy cook.

All the senses are called into question: sight, taste, smell, touch and hearing. Every text, every word, reflects in images and sounds that from the kitchen reach music inspiring melodies.

«The combination of cooking and music remains a game. Obviously there is no scientific criterion if not the affective one. Often a music reminds me important times spent at the table or in the kitchen. This game is for me a tool to explore the social elements that revolve around food», Daniele says in an interview with La Repubblica.

DonPasta does not cook any dish out of season! Against "fast food" and GMOs, he denounces new forms of illegal hiring and claims food as the result of crossbred combinations ... like pasta and sardines. «Food is a language, is the instrument through which a the history of a family, a village, a community is handed down. The culinary education of everyone, regardless of social class, is part of the wisdom of the popular practices in the kitchen, of the balance in the diet, of the imaginary sometimes mythological of recipes, handed down from the trees of knowledge, from the game of discord in landings, families, contiguous villages. Telling a recipe means telling the story of the storyteller».

The music, rigorously live – DonPasta will be accompanied, for the occasion, by Mario De Simoni on guitar, Pietro Martinelli on double bass and Lorenzo Capello on drums – plays to the stove and the stove repays the same coin. New musical Lasagna sprayed with reggae, jazz and rock upbeat. Nick Drake, Coltrane, Tom Waits, The Clash become ingredients to add "just enough" to this peripheral journey, without boundaries.



Another event of the "Convivio" series organized by Annalisa Zorzettig to combine her excellent wines to high–level professionals of the various sectors.
