AS DEVORACIÓNS is a collective creation process that explores food as a space for memory, identity and community. It stems from a generational realisation: “We don’t know how to plant a potato.” The loss of knowledge connected to the land, cooking and oral traditions, accelerated by globalisation and consumerism, also affects our relationship with the territory and the Galician language.
In response to individualism, the performance seeks to reclaim the kitchen as a place of encounter, affection and intergenerational exchange. In a future where eating has been reduced to a physiological necessity, three uprooted characters embark on a journey into memory, starting from a Galician factory.
On stage, an industrial still life is transformed into a living kitchen, bringing together text, contemporary and traditional Galician dance, sound, objects and live cooking. The creative process combines documentation, writing, improvisation and work in rural communities. In Catoira, an experience involving teenagers and older people provided an opportunity to share knowledge and food traditions across generations, incorporating their testimonies into the dramaturgy.
