Family Day: Aubergine - Claron McFadden

In Aubergine, Claron McFadden goes in search of shared cultural roots based on the culinary properties of the aubergine. This vegetable has undertaken a huge migration but found a home everywhere. Lisa Tahon and McFadden follow its route back to its origins: from the West, through the Mediterranean countries to East Asia. They discover local populations with recipes and songs all along the way. Thus McFadden adds a new chapter to the migration tradition, along with musicians from many ‘nightshade cultures’: Roma, Belgian, Iraqi, Greek and Afro-Anatolian. In Aubergine, you will taste the richness of aubergine recipes in combination with live music and a travel documentary about what brings people together and how cross-pollination enriches our identities.
