A lecture-performance combining nuka fermentation culture from Japan with carob traditions of the Mediterranean. The work explores fermentation as a temporal and living process where scent, movement, and language circulate and shape perception. Nuka and carob are approached as non-human performers that transform and respond alongside human presence. Through shifting olfactory states and embodied action, the piece reframes choreography as an emergent process generated through relational encounters with the environment.
