Stanica Žilina: Sauerkraut Making – The Dramaturgy of Nature - Part 1 | AKCENT FESTIVAL 2013

A culinary intervention in the public space by Truc Sphérique from the Stanica Žilina-Záriečie centre for the arts (SK). Barrels of fresh cabbage and a table with hot red wine. A call to action!

Whether it’s transforming a suburban train station into a centre for contemporary art, building a theatre out of beer crates or a gallery from ship containers, or organizing a film festival in an abandoned village cinema, the participation projects of Stanice Žilina-Záriečie are born from specific practical activities around which a group of people is formed, brought together by a common interest. The work creates a very natural forum for discussion, meetings, and getting to know each other.

As part of the Akcent Festival the members of Truc Sphérique present the approach of the Stanica Žilina-Záriečie cultural centre to participation projects.

November is the season for preparing sauerkraut and it would be a shame if Prague were not involved. After all, dramaturgy ferments just like cabbage: you need to take care of it, give it enough time to mature, and the right environment.
