Sien Vanmaele performed her piece Witlof from Syria at LAFS#3 back in 2018.
In 2018, Sien Vanmaele performed at LAFS#3 with the show Witlof from SyriaNori is a researcher and knows everything about the sea. About the creatures that float in its dark depths. About sea sparkle that glows blue-green in the spring. Of the ‘primordial soup’ from which all life originated, but which is becoming more acidic and turning into a plastic soup. She shares her love and care for the sea with Dulse, beachcomber, amateur cook, and Nori's loyal companion.
In WIER, they make a plea to protect the sea, to be gentle with it. They talk about the wonderful world of seaweed, and Dulse teaches how to cook with it. Cutting, chopping, steaming, and baking, they prepare a snack together with the audience.
Taste the delicacies the sea has to offer, be surprised by unknown flavors, and contribute to a world where life is good.
WIER is aimed at the youngest generation and fits in with our fascination with the food of the future. It's about the search for a sustainable way of cooking that contributes to a better world. Because it is children who will inhabit the world of tomorrow, and they have a say in that world.
