A SYNESTHETIC DINNER. The set of El Somni in Barc

A SYNESTHETIC DINNER. The set of El Somni in Barcellona, a multimedia project conceived by brothers Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca, chefs at the Celler de Can Roca in Girona, and by Catalan artist Franc Aleu. It's a performance divided into 12 acts and we had the fortune of attending its premiere. As of tomorrow, two exhibitions will start as well as the work for a book and a film.

In between every act, the calm voice of Josep Roca
Act 5, The Garden of Hesperides: carrying Indian flavours, a Mandala with lemon, curry, beets, mango, coconut, fennel, yogurt, cinnamon, cardamom, mint, ginger, pepper, flowers, artichokes and lamb

The dress rehersal of El Somni








Amuse-bouche rehersal: on the center, Bonsai of pica-pica


















Our experience begins: note down the address of Arts Santa Monica








Outside you can see the van from Girona. Inside, all the nécessaire for the experience








Inside, the plaque thanking all those who took part in the project








In order to reach the set, you need to pass an exhibition's hall displaying a preview of what you'll see once seated








A Yin and Yang teaser








The set/table before the perfomance begins













Let's start!








An audiovisual spiral swallows us into the trip 








At the center of the table, hidden between magnificent bonsais (a classic scheme of the Rocas), pica-pica (bon bon) representing different countries: cevice from Peru, guacamole from Mexico, cous-cous from Morocco...








Dining companions start feeling astonished








The dream begins: Act 1 is centered on The Moon, with spheres of white and black truffle with earthy distillate








All around, Franc Aleu's video, Luca Francesconi's music and the tableware by Taller Luesma Vega








The moon








Act 2: Space








The space dish: the air (or essence) of Cap de Creus cactus figs








Every dish comes with a different glass of wine: a trip through cava and champagne, Armagnac and Rioja and single drops of distillates, also poured on our hands








All around, a 3D creation by Franc Aleu, with music by Sergi Caballero and Pedro Alcade

Foam of purple potato, bon bon ice cream gentian, bone marrow, rhubarb with caviar and trumpet of death mushrooms, in fumes of incense scent of Artemisia








After Glory (Act 11, the dish you previously saw in video 3) we nearly reach the end with Act 12, The Awakening/Sweet Spring

Our experience begins: note down the address of Arts Santa Monica








Outside you can see the van from Girona. Inside, all the nécessaire for the experience








Inside, the plaque thanking all those who took part in the project








In order to reach the set, you need to pass an exhibition's hall displaying a preview of what you'll see once seated








A Yin and Yang teaser








The set/table before the perfomance begins













Let's start!








An audiovisual spiral swallows us into the trip 








At the center of the table, hidden between magnificent bonsais (a classic scheme of the Rocas), pica-pica (bon bon) representing different countries: cevice from Peru, guacamole from Mexico, cous-cous from Morocco...








Dining companions start feeling astonished








The dream begins: Act 1 is centered on The Moon, with spheres of white and black truffle with earthy distillate








All around, Franc Aleu's video, Luca Francesconi's music and the tableware by Taller Luesma Vega








The moon








Act 2: Space








The space dish: the air (or essence) of Cap de Creus cactus figs








Every dish comes with a different glass of wine: a trip through cava and champagne, Armagnac and Rioja and single drops of distillates, also poured on our hands








All around, a 3D creation by Franc Aleu, with music by Sergi Caballero and Pedro Alcade








Act 3: Ophiucus, the 13rd sign of the zodiac













Act 4: Under the Sea, the set goes into the sea (see video 1)













On the table, a really delicious composition, served on Pere Gifre and Dani Molina's sculptures: velouté of grilled sea urchin, pan seared sauce of sea anemone, grilled shrimp with a chamber of prawn head, parmentier of octopus, marinade of mussels and sea fennel barnacle













In between every act, the calm voice of Josep Roca


















Act 5, The Garden of Hesperides: carrying Indian flavours, a Mandala with lemon, curry, beets, mango, coconut, fennel, yogurt, cinnamon, cardamom, mint, ginger, pepper, flowers, artichokes and lamb













Act 6: The Courtship













Yin Yang all over: in Albert Guinovart's music and Franc Aleu's video. And on Roca's dish: Yin-Yang oysters bathed in Palo Cortado sherry, oyster sauce, white and black garlic








Let's be prepared for Act 7's fireworks. Twelve waiters are working descretely, you realise they're in only when they are illuminated








Act 7: these dishes are piece of art, inspired by fossils. The designer: Roos Van de Velde

Jordi Roca, Franc Aleu, Joan Roca e Josep Roca, the four minds behind El Somni

Being just back from London, with the reflectors of all the world pointed at them, holding the throne of the 50Best, the Roca brothers couldn’t have chosen a better moment to raise the curtain over an unprecedented project. It’s called El Somni, a noun which in Spanish recalls sleep and dream. It is the universal artwork, a term with which Richard Wagner wanted, in his case, to reproduce the theatrical works of Ancient Greece, the synthesis, in one unique representation, of the thrill of artists with the most different creative talents. 

Joan e Jordi Roca blow El Somni's first candle out

Joan e Jordi Roca blow El Somni's first candle out

El Somni unites the work of chefs, audio and visual artists, composers, lyrical singers, musicians, photographers, poets, linguists, designers, painters, philosophers, artisans. This work reaches its climax in a diameter of a few metres, staged by the Arts Santa Monica, on Barcelona’s Ramblas. A circular table set for 12 people who walk on the bare earth and are overwhelmed by 12 acts, with as many changes of scene which, over two hours, draw a 3D plot on the tablecloth/screen and on the truly artistic tableware holding the dishes characterised by the deliciousness the Roca-aficionados know so well.

All around, there’s the discontinuous siege of waiters dressed in black and the constant one of robotic clocks, pulsing lights and giant curved screens which, coherently with the images and the dishes on the table, reproduce, in turn, lyrical songs, idyllic scenes, oneiric explorations, astral odysseys, mythological representations, war horrors, sensual carnalities and Grand-Guignol-style roughness signed by dozens of artists and timed by Josep Roca, as magnetic as in Girona, in his illustration of the dishes and of the wines, and in announcing with solemn words each change of scene: «the individual», «the regeneration of life», «the sea», «death» (for more details, see the videos and the photo-gallery below).

Josep Roca, our Virgil of El Somni

Josep Roca, our Virgil of El Somni

The spark to this thrilling plot sparked 7 months ago when Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca met the Catalan audio-visual-artist Franc Aleu, and immediately included a fantastic multidisciplinary staff with the help of Media Pro, the Catalan giant of tv production (it holds the rights to the Liga and has produced Woody Allen’s latest 3 movies) which took on quite a substantial cost. Together they are studying a world tour in order to repeat this universal artwork, with the idea of soon representing it also at the Celler de Can Roca, their restaurant in Girona.

What’s sure for now is that, as of tomorrow, El Somni is already a double exhibition open to the public, and that soon a book and a film will be out. This is the right and expected development for a project which, before the lucky preview for 12 journalists, received the enthusiastic approval of as many leading figures in the cultural world, among whom were chef Ferran Adrià, the great Californian scientist and ambassador of food and Harold McGee, Catalan artist Miguel Barcelò. All were ready to pay their tribute to a city, Barcelona «constantly exploring the boundaries of human creativity», Adrià pointed out. While for the first time in history, gastronomy isn’t only siding the other arts of exploration: it takes them by the hand.

The dress rehersal of El Somni








Amuse-bouche rehersal: on the center, Bonsai of pica-pica

In order to reach the set, you need to pass an exhibition's hall displaying a preview of what you'll see once seated

The set/table before the perfomance begins













Let's start!








An audiovisual spiral swallows us into the trip 








At the center of the table, hidden between magnificent bonsais (a classic scheme of the Rocas), pica-pica (bon bon) representing different countries: cevice from Peru, guacamole from Mexico, cous-cous from Morocco...








Dining companions start feeling astonished

All around, Franc Aleu's video, Luca Francesconi's music and the tableware by Taller Luesma Vega








The moon








Act 2: Space








The space dish: the air (or essence) of Cap de Creus cactus figs








Every dish comes with a different glass of wine: a trip through cava and champagne, Armagnac and Rioja and single drops of distillates, also poured on our hands

Act 10: Mercy/Death








Foam of purple potato, bon bon ice cream gentian, bone marrow, rhubarb with caviar and trumpet of death mushrooms, in fumes of incense scent of Artemisia








After Glory (Act 11, the dish you previously saw in video 3) we nearly reach the end with Act 12, The Awakening/Sweet Spring

Our experience begins: note down the address of Arts Santa Monica








Outside you can see the van from Girona. Inside, all the nécessaire for the experience








Inside, the plaque thanking all those who took part in the project








In order to reach the set, you need to pass an exhibition's hall displaying a preview of what you'll see once seated








A Yin and Yang teaser








The set/table before the perfomance begins













Let's start!








An audiovisual spiral swallows us into the trip 








At the center of the table, hidden between magnificent bonsais (a classic scheme of the Rocas), pica-pica (bon bon) representing different countries: cevice from Peru, guacamole from Mexico, cous-cous from Morocco...








Dining companions start feeling astonished








The dream begins: Act 1 is centered on The Moon, with spheres of white and black truffle with earthy distillate








All around, Franc Aleu's video, Luca Francesconi's music and the tableware by Taller Luesma Vega








The moon








Act 2: Space








The space dish: the air (or essence) of Cap de Creus cactus figs








Every dish comes with a different glass of wine: a trip through cava and champagne, Armagnac and Rioja and single drops of distillates, also poured on our hands








All around, a 3D creation by Franc Aleu, with music by Sergi Caballero and Pedro Alcade








Act 3: Ophiucus, the 13rd sign of the zodiac













Act 4: Under the Sea, the set goes into the sea (see video 1)













On the table, a really delicious composition, served on Pere Gifre and Dani Molina's sculptures: velouté of grilled sea urchin, pan seared sauce of sea anemone, grilled shrimp with a chamber of prawn head, parmentier of octopus, marinade of mussels and sea fennel barnacle













In between every act, the calm voice of Josep Roca


















Act 5, The Garden of Hesperides: carrying Indian flavours, a Mandala with lemon, curry, beets, mango, coconut, fennel, yogurt, cinnamon, cardamom, mint, ginger, pepper, flowers, artichokes and lamb













Act 6: The Courtship













Yin Yang all over: in Albert Guinovart's music and Franc Aleu's video. And on Roca's dish: Yin-Yang oysters bathed in Palo Cortado sherry, oyster sauce, white and black garlic








Let's be prepared for Act 7's fireworks. Twelve waiters are working descretely, you realise they're in only when they are illuminated

The dress rehersal of El Somni








Amuse-bouche rehersal: on the center, Bonsai of pica-pica


















Our experience begins: note down the address of Arts Santa Monica








Outside you can see the van from Girona. Inside, all the nécessaire for the experience








Inside, the plaque thanking all those who took part in the project








In order to reach the set, you need to pass an exhibition's hall displaying a preview of what you'll see once seated








A Yin and Yang teaser








The set/table before the perfomance begins













Let's start!








An audiovisual spiral swallows us into the trip 








At the center of the table, hidden between magnificent bonsais (a classic scheme of the Rocas), pica-pica (bon bon) representing different countries: cevice from Peru, guacamole from Mexico, cous-cous from Morocco...








Dining companions start feeling astonished








The dream begins: Act 1 is centered on The Moon, with spheres of white and black truffle with earthy distillate








All around, Franc Aleu's video, Luca Francesconi's music and the tableware by Taller Luesma Vega








The moon








Act 2: Space

Act 3: Ophiucus, the 13rd sign of the zodiac

In between every act, the calm voice of Josep Roca


















Act 5, The Garden of Hesperides: carrying Indian flavours, a Mandala with lemon, curry, beets, mango, coconut, fennel, yogurt, cinnamon, cardamom, mint, ginger, pepper, flowers, artichokes and lamb













Act 6: The Courtship
