La Fabrique des Dionysos is a ceremonial installation. It is a cultural and sensorial prelude to wine tasting.
A body of sculptures (tables, seats and objects) determinates the space and are used as ceremonial tools.
First step to encounter the audience, this creates a specific ambiance that force to be more focused and careful to the event.
The ceremony stands for about an hour before tasting the wines. It is divided into ten sequences:
Crétacé
Terre
Vigne
Meunier
Pinot
Chardonnay
Assemblage
Yeast
Effervescence
Craie
Heard, smelled, tasted, touched, admired, all sequence give senses and a meaning to what makes wine so specific.
Step after step, the art of wine meet the contemporary art so as to go deeper into these two cultural fields.
The last part is not longer than a word:
Champagne!
Is it possible to learn together to be more receptive to the sensorial richness of our world and culture?
