Donpasta prepare tagliatelle handmade he took this passion for cooking, eating and the fullest enjoyment of both one step further, by cooking Italian recipes with a live jazz band playing the music he selects for each recipe, and all this, while he reads his unique prose-poetry.
Donpasta is accompanied by the musician, interpreting the noise of the kitchen and the suggestions of Donpasta with their music, thus creating a continuous and explosive alternation of voices and sounds.
Donpasta’s live shows introduce a whole new way of enjoying the pleasures and art of eating, listening to music and travelling. All senses are summoned, sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing. Every sound coming from the kitchen becomes music, which inspires the melodies.
