Cooking with Leonardo, a paper theater performance with Alejandro Benítez, Avelina Correa and Natalia Pérez Turner
Paper theater show based on the book “Leonardo da Vinci's Cooking Notes”, by Shelagh and Jonathan Routh, which shows the very little known facet of Leonardo da Vinci as a food lover, cook, ephemeral tavern owner and master of festivities and banquets in the Milan court for thirty years.
Recipe:
Mix a bit of history, a generous portion of Italian genius and a part of paper theater with another of live music. It is left to marinate in the cool of the night and we will get a compact performance that will immerse us in one of Leonardo Da Vinci's deepest passions: cooking and its secrets.
