Mugaritz and La Fura dels Baus

Antecedentes

Cuisine and theatre are not necessarily tied to each other. Luckily, Mugaritz doesn’t only offer food, and it’s not only theater what La Fura dels Baus does. That difference that separates them from their respective worlds might be what unites them. They are two teams in constant evolution, whose tillers have always pointed towards the most creative, most disruptive destination, on which, at the same time, makes them grow and evolve so that it affects everyone that participates in their projects. The same way the furero denies a stage, the cook exceeds the muga in each recipe

The first time La Fura dels Baus and Mugaritz collaborated was in 2010 with Degustación de Titus Andronicus, based on a play by W. Shakespeare, which premiered on the 7th of April of 2010 in Tabakalera, Donostia. This first time, Mugaritz was in charge of the gastronomic direction of the show. Two years later, Wild game came, based on the ancestrality of the ingredients, blood and game, and presented in the wildest surroundings, La Fura coproduced this 4 minute short film. Later, in 2014, La Fura and Mugaritz collaborated in another project, a story about one of the tableware pieces that have been most spoken about in Mugaritz: TABA. Andoni Luis Aduriz develops a culinary performance in which the game constitutes the main feature in one of his creations and the taba (the sheep’s ankle bone) represents its material form. These two short films premiered at the Berlinale in its editions of 2013 and 2014, respectively.
