At a dinner party, a renowned chef is busy in the kitchen under the watchful eyes of the guests, whilst an orchestra envelops them in spellbinding melodies. The game begins : when the music stops, the meal must be ready. But very soon, the chef finds herself running late.
To rise up to the challenge, she must redouble her ingenuity and convince the musicians to help her. So, between notes, the instruments sometimes fall silent, giving way to flaring pans, flying spices and clattering saucepans. Spiced with musical and culinary improvisations, this frenzied ballet will put everyone’s talents to the test.
The musicians, multitaskers by necessity, will juggle instruments and utensils to support the chef in this race against time. Amidst improvisations and the frantic pace of the kitchen, they will work together in unison to deliver a meal and a concert that live up to expectations, in a perfect alchemy of flavours and melodies.
