montaged from live concert footage __ NAVID NAVAB artistic direction, concept, composition, real-time sound, interactive scenography JEROME DELAPIERRE real-time responsive video MICHAEL MONTANARO mise en scene TONY CHONG performance __ A synaesthetic performance organized around a chef, an enchanted kitchenette, and sonified ingredients. The cook wields foods, pans and spices, transmuted gesturally into sound and image in an innovative culinary choreography. A knife rasps against another, onions vocalize their unfolding mutation into a cacophonus a cappella, sizzling oil slides into a downpour of Bartok-pizzicati, while seductive aromas immerse the viewer in a multi-sensory augmentation of everyday practices. __ Co-production Navid Navab and Montreal/New Music Festival (MNM) - 2015
