nefesh (Presented by State of Play 2024: hadar ahuvia)

  • ODC Theater 3153 17th Street San Francisco, CA, 94110 United States (map)

A female-appearing dancer wearing light and flowy dress performs on stage.

nefesh brings the worlds of contemporary performance, dance, eastern european Jewish music, and feminist mysticism. The work reclaims 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.

This is an ADA-accessible venue.
