About the event
Exploration "Shadow & Light"
In the soft glow of subdued light, Alma becomes a space of chiaroscuro. Lanterns, translucent papers, dark ceramics and luminous porcelains compose a landscape where shadow and light reveal themselves as subjects for contemplation.
On Saturday, October 18th at 11am, our guest for this exploration, François Van den Brulle, founder of IRO , will take us on a journey to discover the most famous of Japan's shade-grown teas: matcha. A tasting that becomes an encounter, where tradition, commitment, and contemporaryity resonate.
Exploration Shadow & Light is a sensory and poetic immersion, an inner journey where we learn that sometimes, it is in the shadows that flavors are illuminated.
