“I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all is for an act of theatre to be engaged.”

So it once said by the famous theatre director Peter Brook. And so understood by us to take an empty space in front of the "U" in Dortmund, to cook there whilst people are watching. And one thing shall be already mentioned...our performance on this years theatre festival FAVORITEN from the 23th of september until the second of october made its impact. But more to be continued.

The international team of the refugees´kitchen cooked during the whole festival time for all the participants and guests. Beside several delicious meals from Syria, the tasty journey roams also the afghan and african kitchen as always presented on an entertaining way.

And no throat should dry out. So we served refreshing drinks from their countries which most of the guests have never tasted before. Or have you already experienced the taste of a "yakhshekar ka", number one party drink from Teheran?

It was a very atmospheric scenery at late evening. High above the huge letter "U", next to us the colorful bumper car and in-between shines and sparkles our orange kitchen container. Simply beautiful! Cooking is art. Art never goes without good food. What a match! The refugees´kitchen as a rolling stage. The choice of the audience was pretty clear though...they have voted the kitchen as their favorite act and so it received this years endowed audience award. We´re endlessly happy and grateful for all the support during the process of building. A big thank you to all helpers...you are our personal FAVORITE!
