THEATER OF LIFE
(Peter Svatek, 2016, 94’)

In occasion of EXPO 2015 in Milan, Massimo Bottura created a project in collaboration with Caritas Ambrosiana, inviting fifty international colleagues to join him and transform leftover food into nutritious and delicious dishes for the most fragile members of the community. The “Refettorio Ambrosiano” was the site of a unique social project that led Massimo Bottura and his wife Lara Gilmore to found the non-profit organisation Food for Soul in 2016. The adventure of Bottura and the first refectory was filmed by director Peter Svatek, who documented the experience of chefs such as René Redzepi, Daniel Humm, Virgilio Martinez and Alain Ducasse. The docufilm  “Theater of Life” was released in 2016.

Massimo Bottura is a renowned Italian chef, owner of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Osteria Francescana. He is also a contemporary art collector and philanthropist.
