A concert dedicated to life.
Culinary musical cuisine for all generations.
Knedlbend is a mixture of recipes, rhythm of the heart, vocal interpretation and modern musical approaches with a touch of ancient wisdom. Knedl sings songs in which we mixed and thoroughly kneaded the lyrics in the form of recipes for a good food and a smile on your face. Of course, we did not forget the internal calibration of the organs, which strengthen the body and spirit with a positive vibration and a drop of pure water. Children, parents, grandmothers, grandfathers and passers-by, close your eyes and listen to life.
The KNEDL project, whose mission is Food = Medicine - Understanding for a better and smiling tomorrow, is the result of Danilo Ivanusa's twenty years of activity in the field of comprehensive education about the culture of eating and the quality of life, especially among children and adolescents and their parents and guardians. In his work, the author explores and opens up the world of cuisine by including various media and practices of theatrical play, puppetry, street theater and music, and from the sediments of the culinary play KNEDL, which was well received by the audience, the culinary musical cuisine Knedlbend sprouted after proper fermentation.
Knedl constantly supplements its kitchen with ingredients such as the values of understanding, attention, safety and respect for ourselves and others in our surroundings. In this way, his messages also reach beyond the domestic sphere into common and public spaces.
