Bones, woods and spoons – an experimental dinner and soundscape in Chappe 26th of  May 2023  

Chappe and wildfood chef and sound artist Tatu Rönkkö invite you for an experimental dinner 26th of May 2023 at 6 pm. Jyrki Tsutsunen serves a culinary journey prepared from ingredients picked from the forest, Rönkkö uses kitchen utensils and natural materials as his instruments to create music sampled with forest sounds.  

Wild food and sound art open the participants’ senses of taste, hearing, touch and smell to new ways of experiencing sensory pleasure. This transformative dining experience may leave dinner guests moved, surprised and overwhelmed.  

Professional chef Jyrki Tsutsunen has worked in many restaurants in Helsinki as well as in the Consulate General of Finland in Saint Petersburg, where he worked as a chef for six years. Tsutsunen is also known for the Hukkatila events, surprise dinners that are organised in unusual spaces, for example, a service station or an old factory.

Tatu Rönkkö is a drummer and percussionist, who uses improvisation to combine everyday objects, such as kitchen utensils, with percussion instruments and electronic devices to produce experimental music and sound art. Rönkkö is one of the founding members of the Finnish-Danish musical group LIIMA. He has performed on international arenas, both introducing his solo project Play Your Kitchen and with numerous groups and bands.

In addition to Finland, Tsutsunen and Rönkkö have toured in Europe with their multisensory and multidimensional dinner, with the ambition to promote Finnish wild food and creative madness. 

Modifications create a new Finnish food culture, one that is sustainable and characteristic of the present.

Duration of the dinner: 2,5 hours  

Ticket price: 20 euros 

Before dinner is a 30 min long guided tour in Chappe. The tour is included in the ticket price.
