At the Maxxi in Rome, great cuisine meets astrophysics. Today, Tuesday 27 March, at 19:00goes on stage The taste of the Universe. Cosmic history in three courses. The meeting marks the start of a series of initiatives which will keep the National Museum of XXI Century Arts open also on the days of Easter and Easter Monday.
“Il gusto dell'Universo” is a semi-serious show cooking with three protagonists: the starred chef Cristina Bowerman, the president of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) Fernando Ferroni and the actor Blacks Marcorè (MAXXI Auditorium, Admission 15 euros, for card holders myMAXXI 12 euros).
During the evening – between dialogues on gravitational waves and relativity, stories about the Universe, films, images and animations – the public will be able to observe live the preparation of 3 “star dishes”, inspired by three of the main themes of contemporary physics: dark matter, spacetime and the Big Bang theory. The event will end at the bookshop-cafeteria Typo with a tasting of the prepared dishes.
