Tea Time with Sponge Cakes Buffet
Multisensory tasting & hydrosocial flavors
Thefestival concluded with a tea time, featuring a sponge cake buffet with “river soaks” – a multisensory way of connecting with rivers and hydrosocial spaces. Developed by Regina Hügli, the soaks were inspired by festival participants, who contributed flavour profiles drawn from the waters and rivers they work with. Following a short, opening “Soaking Performance,” the buffet was opened for tasting, comparing, discussing, and exchanging in an informal, festive atmosphere.
