CUA DE GALL – MACBAesviu2016

« Bread is, probably, the most universal existing food. One of the foodstuffs that can be considered supercultural »
FoodCultura / Miralda, Panlingua 

Created by the Catalan artist Marta Archilés, Cua de Gall is a performance that celebrates bread. Inspired on the origins of the word cocktail (from <cock> + <tail> an animal venerated in many cultures and admired for the colors of its tail) the public was invited to try a unique bread cocktail, enjoy a special selection of bread songs and join us on a bread journey through stories and live actions. A five-senses experience created for an environment as remarkable as the replica of Miralda’s El Internacional Tapas Bar & Restaurant at MACBA, Museu d’Art Contemporani Barcelona.
