Culinary visual poetry by David Ymbernon at Fundació Joan Brossa

Cooking, magic and visual poetry: crack an egg and out comes lettuce; open a carton of milk and it is wine. 🍳🎩

📖 The piece

Dressed as a chef, Ymbernon cooks a seemingly ordinary meal where nothing is what it seems: a banana turns into a sausage and a pepper into olives.

Created in 1999 and winner of Spain's National Award for Art Actions, it is a playful piece about appearances, very much in Joan Brossa's spirit.

🎪 Festival IF 2026 at La Brossa

This is the third year of the partnership between La Brossa and IF Barcelona's Festival IF, devoted to visual, object and puppet theatre. It runs from 5 to 29 November, this time built around words losing their meaning.

🏛️ La Brossa, Centre de les Arts Lliures

The Fundació Joan Brossa is housed in La Seca, Barcelona's old royal mint in El Born, and is Barcelona's home for the 'free arts': visual theatre, object poetry, magic, performance and live arts, in the spirit of the poet it is named after. It runs exhibitions, shows and activities all season long.

ℹ️ Good to know: Limited places. Pairs well with the 12 noon show of Se necesita un pantalón on the same Sunday.

✨ A Sunday to laugh and not trust your eyes.
