A stay kitchen is the scenario where two women, an adult (Nicole) and another young woman (Elisa), they work and cook exotic dishes for the lords. There they spend their hours alone.

Journalist: How did the idea of these two women appear cooking?
Lucía Laragione: The germ of the work arose in the workshop of Mauricio Kartun who asked for a generating image that contained an idea of work. I heard the conversation between two women about cooking recipes and I knew from the beginning that a power relationship was hidden in that conversation.
Q.: How is this stormy relationship in which links of power, jealousy, envy and miseries appear?
LL: I did not intend to speak consciously about the class condition or submission but since there was an experienced cook and a learning played a power relationship. On the other hand we know that power needs lackeys and needs accomplices and that must be in me in some way.
Q.: Why did you want to talk about the class condition and the relationship of submission and respect for patterns? Can you move it to other areas?
LL: In the house of my uncles when I was a girl there was a cook and a maid. The cook was a woman named Elisa who always had a makeup that made an almost white face, with very red lips. She was a cruel woman, a poor woman, and the other one who was a field, maid, had another status, surely in front of Elisa’s look. Some of that must have remained in me and appears in the work.
Q.: Do they return after tours and special functions, how is a work so many seasons?
LL: The theme of power crosses time and spaces. The cruelty in the exercise of power is seen in this Argentina today unfortunately. That must somehow explain the validity of the work.
