The word “dinner” doesn’t really do it justice, because this food event is far more about the multi-sensory experience: music, live performance, art and – crucially – the after party. Duo Yulia Roth and Laura Iriondo from Fortuna Forest (and now our sister agency Cee Cee Creative) have made it their mission to present escapism in its most tender form. It’s all about escaping the perpetual noise of the city and reconnecting with nature: lying on your back on the warm forest floor watching the dancing treetops. The feeling of happiness and freedom – this is the goal. For the seventh edition of the Fortuna Forest event series this Saturday (06.05.2023), the pair are bringing the forest – or rather the earth – back to the city. And they are doing so in collaboration with 1__06, an art and culture venue located (until September 2023) between the Kunsthaus Tacheles and the legendary King Size Bar in Mitte.
It’s all about common ground: what connects and nourishes us. Sat at a 20-meter-long table of earth and seeds, you are invited to participate in a “performative” vegetarian dinner. Composer and sound artist Fabian Kalker and dancer Elke Kalupar provide artistic accompaniment for the evening. The event happens in a space where the 1_06 collective have curated art under the motto “under (de) construction”. Currently on display are loud, colorful and provocative installations by Berlin-based Joachim Bosse, forming the perfect antithesis to the concept of Fortuna Forest itself. If after the dinner, installation and performance you are after more, you can round off the evening with a dance and some drinks in the former premises of King Size Bar. Tickets for the event can be found here.
