Institution. What is it? Where does it come from? How is it born, how does it live and die? This word is rooted in the process of fixing something. Although they are constructed, institutions can also emerge spontaneously. In truth, the institution is a state or a series of processes that can be short, even subatomic, and which for a certain period of time resist disappearance.
The artist duo Landra invites us to participate in the construction of a speculative model with which we can rethink ways of ‘instituting.’ How do music and food come together in a conversation about physics, biochemistry, microbiology, ecology, politics or sociology? The curtain rises. Will we be able to see better?
The food products used in the composition of the performance contain allergens: celery, cereals containing gluten and nuts.

Landra
Landra is the name that Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo Camacho give to the land where they live and work as an artist duo. In the northwest of the Iberian peninsula, the word landra refers to the acorn of the English oak and, in traditional local culture, it is a symbol of freedom and abundance. Through their projects, which evoke the practice of living and creating in harmony with natural rhythms and cycles, the duo pays homage to a culture of autonomy and sustainability, experimenting with different forms of art-life.
