FATAYER BI BANADOURA invites the audience to discover a path of life, love, toxicity, and death through a participatory culinary performance that revolves around making tomato pastries. 

SYNOPSIS
Hiba Najem invites the audience to a participatory interactive experience. She has been working for a while now on a series of culinary performances to shed light on forgotten or unknown rural dishes.

For the second dish of this series, she chose a pastry exclusive to her mother’s village Beit Chabab. It’s Fatayer bi Banadoura – Tomato pastries. After going through the recipe with some of the women of the village, holding long discussions, and also researching the history of tomatoes, the performance will walk us on the road of love, toxicity, and death.

The audience will contribute to the making of the fatayer while celebrating life and death.
The performance is for a maximum of 30-35 people.
