Annie Maheux - Échanges Thermiques, A Winterish Eat Art Performance

​

This participative performance explores the contrast of hot & cold food in the Yukon cold, winter scenery. What does it feel like to drink hot soup after a cold walk outside? How can we push this soothing feeling further? This is what Eat Artist Annie Maheux will put forward in her performance on the shores of the Klondike river during this month of February's festivities (s)hiver Festival.
