Community engagement documenting; part of IF: Milton Keynes International Festival.
Travelling from Valpariso, Chile to West Bletchley, Teatro Container were searching for local stories about recipes, aromas and customs and what they mean for memory; gathering and sharing experiences from around the world.
The temporary shipping container “La Cucina Pùblica”, with its kitchen inside, acted as a pop-up base for local residents to drop in and engage with the company; chatting, making and preparing food ahead of a performance about migration and a community meal which all contributed to, from making, to setting up, to clearing away. Leaving just memories.
