Snake Cucumber Battle

Performance, followed by a "snake cucumber battle platter" and pork on toast Presented on April 10, 2015, at BAECKEREI, Berlin, in collaboration with Arno Bojak Documentation: Susann Unger, BAECKEREI, Berlin Artists Judith Samen and Arno Bojak wear dirndl dresses and briefly pelt each other intensely and aggressively with snake cucumbers. Afterward, the audience is invited to participate in making the cucumber salad. The regional idiom “half a pig on toast” simply refers to too much meat. The meal consists of suckling pig, cucumber salad, toast, and butter. The shared meal, as a participatory and communicative act, stands in contrast to the initial aggressive exchange.
