Heidi M. Richter, live-cooking

This work draws on the famous recipes and writings of Alice B. Toklas (The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook), literary material of writer Gertrude Stein and extracts from ‘Solo for Gertrude’ by highly acclaimed Austrian composer Elisabeth Harnik, reworked by the quartet ensemble. Amplified sounds produced by the live cooking during performance are an integral part of the work and the resulting dishes are shared with the audience post-performance.
