nefesh sutures generations and genres, bridging the worlds of contemporary performance, dance, eastern european Jewish music, and feminist mysticism. The work reclaims millennia old diasporic traditions and cultures almost destroyed by anti-semitism and Zionism to imagine Jewish futures. nefesh invites audiences to inhabit the very fleshy experience of being, and at times the breath and vitality of being itself, as ahuvia corporealizes Ashkenazi chant and wordless melodies, and considers the power of each utterance to create material reality.
Two performances at ODC in San Francisco:
Saturday, August 3, 4pm
Sunday, August 4, 7pm – ASL
Discount ($12 tickets) available for groups of 8 or more if you email boxoffice@odc.dance.
