Degustacija medžuslovjanskogo jezyka 2026
Klub Zastupitelů (Brno, Czech Republic)
Performative dinner Degustacija medžuslovjanskogo jezyka (tasting of the Interslavic language) was a performative five-course dinner by Zuzana-Markéta Macková and Tomek Pawłowski-Jarmołajew, created in collaboration with Divadlo Terén as part of the STÁTKY series and presented in Brno, Czech Republic.

It explored contemporary Slavic identity through food, language, and music. Instead of using English as the shared language of an international event, the evening moved between Czech, Polish, and Interslavic, a constructed language designed to be understood by speakers of different Slavic languages without prior knowledge of the language. The project used Interslavic as a way of questioning cultural proximity, difference, and the politics of belonging.

The dinner consisted of five courses, each focusing on a different aspect of Slavic identity. For example, the course titled Panslavism?! consisted of two kinds of dumplings wrapped inside another, larger dumpling, referring to the visual form of the matryoshka and the contradictions of pan-Slavic ideas. Each course was accompanied by a specially designed placemat containing a theoretical text contextualising its topic, as well as its own playlist reflecting the themes of the dishes through sound. The final course was accompanied by a live performance by Czech folk violinist and singer Vojtěch Mrověc.
