IN SCENA: Food, Form and Being
A weekend of sensory exploration into the intersections of food, movement, stillness, and space. Guided by Rat Supper Club — Berlin-based architects-turned-food provocateurs — the retreat invites participants to inhabit food as a medium of expression, connection, and presence.
Dates: September 5th-7th
Through performance-style dinners, hands-on culinary labs, daily yoga and meditation, and philosophical provocations, we explore:
What does it mean to taste fully? To dwell in a moment? To design nourishment?
Rat Supper Club invites a small group of curious minds to explore food as a language of presence, memory, and meaning.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Rat Supper Club’s culinary practice explores the delicate point of convergence between food, art, architecture, and design, offering a gastronomic experience conceived at the level of performance.
Rat Supper Club is Lorenzo, a Mollino fangirl obsessed with concrete sculptures and subway
maps, and Luca, a dancer with a fashion fixation. Two Italian architects who met in Berlin
and, while working together, decided to found this collective, driven by the need for a platform to explore the convergence between these fields—giving rise to a practice as intentional as playful. We believe in the power of contamination and the value of the unexpected. For us, food is never just food, but a living device to inhabit the present, connect knowledge, activate spaces, and build new imaginaries.
