On this Sunday, lose yourself in a unique, intimate life drawing experience. Through the art of Shibari, Rigger Noana will guide us into a captivating performance that explores the balance between softness and intensity. Afterwards, we'll enjoy a delicious 4 course menu à la Tampopo together cooked by our talented friend Markus, offering space to share reflections, experiences, and conversations.

Honoring Shibari’s origins, we’ll use ink, a traditional medium tied to Japanese calligraphy. Its fluidity will inspire new forms of expression. No art background is needed—everyone is welcome. 

Noana is a rigger who creates experiences that range from nurturing, meditative moments to those filled with dark, raw emotion. Her approach to rope is about depth in the details, and the feelings this intentionality evokes in the people she ties. Her practice creates a space where both pleasure and pain can naturally coexist, all held within the loving embrace of her ropes.

Long time favorite Elina Tapio will be adding musical layers throughout the performance. 

Multidisciplinary artist Markus (they/them) focusses on the autonomous being through movement, audiovisual, text and music. Developing multi-works analyzing distinct topics as gender identity, rituals and spirituality that exist towards an ongoing research. 

“In my free time I love to express myself through food. One of my favorite films is Tampopo by Juzo Itami. I love cooking for others, a passion that roots from growing up in a big Moluccan family with a strong tradition where food brings people together. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep fascination with Japanese culture, particularly the food—its authentic, pure flavors and the unique ways it’s presented. Through my Japanese-inspired kitchen ‘TOTONI’- ととに’, based on traditional dishes, I share my food as a ritual of love.”
