Citrus maxima xparadisi

​

Citrus maxima xparadisi is a performance that invites you to moilesautresart's table, where the meal ends with the sharing of a fruit they think is a pomelo. The artists soon discover that the fruit is at the heart of a taxonomic controversy: the confusion between grapefruit and pomelo.

​

Confronting different points of view on the scientific classification of plants, and inspired by 16th century scientific and artistic botanical studies, Citrus maxima xparadisi is a performance that attempts to pierce the thick skin of the banal to reach the juicy pulp of the sexual and political bias of knowledge.
