This is a blog of a dance project that is a Nordic artists’ collaboration about the function of the kitchen and the evolution of its role in the past. We focus on the archetypes operating in the modern kitchen, and on how the meaning of this domestic space has developed in regard to eating, living and sociocultural habits.

Our cast on Estonian morning TV Terevisioon

Mari and Kaja were invited to Estonian morning TV show Terevisioon. They were interviewed in the kitchen, where they presented the multifunctional use of banana (getting rid of fruit flies, polishing furniture and shoes). They also showed how to cook flaming bananas, and gave practical as well as emotional tips about cooking this simple yet tasteful dessert. And amongst all the cooking, the also described the performance and told where and when it's taking place.

The presenters asked Kaja and Mari questions about the performance, and of course the banana was central to the discussion. An interesting quote I picked up from Kaja: "During the performance will find a contact with their own banana in their head". THAT's how we should have advertised the show! :)

Terevisioon can be accessed online. Mari and Kaja appear twice. First on the 46th minute (the time at the top right corner is showing 7.41am) and then on the 109th minute (at 8.43am).

I couldn't find the specific recipe Kaja and Mari were cooking from, but here's one way to make FLAMING BANANAS:


6 bananas

2 Tbsp. margarine

1/4 C. light brown sugar

6 Tbsp. light rum

Peel bananas. Heat margarine in large skillet or blazer pan or chafing dish. Turn bananas in margarine and cook 3 or 4 minutes, until golden colored. Sprinkle with brown sugar and turn bananas until bubbling syrup is formed. Add 2 tablespoons rum and baste bananas with sauce. Set aside until ready to serve. Just before serving, warm bananas until sauce is bubbling. Warm remaining 1/4 cup rum. Pour rum over bananas, ignite, and as flames flicker, serve bananas. Serve alone as dessert or as topping for vanilla or butter pecan ice cream. Slice bananas into small chunks.
