Experimental Riff on the Traditional Jewish Seder at NACL

What does it mean to be Jewish—right now? This question is at the heart of a new collaborative work-in-progress by renowned choreographer David Dorfman and visionary director/creator Leora Morris.

Blending movement, memory, sound, and story, the duo embarks on a deeply personal exploration of Jewish identity, intergenerational inheritance, and the legacies that live within our bodies.

On April 12 at NACL in Highland Lake, NY, Dorfman and Morris will share their work on the first night of Passover. Far from a traditional Seder, this evening will offer an experimental “ordering” of performance excerpts, reflections, readings, and, yes, matzo ball soup.
