Hiba Najem, Freekeh, my aunt died 40 days ago, 2024

The passing away of my aunt inspired the third performance of my culinary series. Around the smell of onion and freekeh, I celebrate my aunt whom I was not able to celebrate as I wanted to and I share with the audience a dish that she loved and transmitted to me that eventually turned into a pizza. I tell my story with my aunt and the memories we shared in the aroma of those ingredients. By communicating a dish that was dear to my aunt, I pay tribute to her and to those who have not been with us for 40 days, 40 weeks or 40 years.
