Lamb
Women prepare to cook lamb with vegetables. Although it is difficult to get the right lamb meat, they memorize lines, stories and poems about lambs and lamb soup from a previous theatre project in 1995, in which an actress talked about her heritage and her understanding of life to a silent man sittng at her table, while he would listen to his radio and play the viola. Now, twenty years later, some women try to find out about what sheep farming in Iceland is like and map where and whether their foremothers had kept sheep. Afer arranging the bones of lambs that have already been eaten, they will meet the audience and invite them to help cut vegetables, then hand out a recipe for preparing and cutting sheep's heads in the traditonal Icelandic way. Food will be served with the day's research conclusions.
