Lilith, the primary demon figure in Jewish folklore, inspired this multidisciplinary event, co-produced with Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company.

Conceived by the Center for Jewish Culture and Leichtag Foundation, and created by theatre dybbuk, this exciting new work features ritualized movement and physical theatre, as well as dance, music and more.

exagoge, by Ezekiel the Poet, is the first recorded Jewish play, written during the 2nd Century B.C.E. It serves as a jumping off point for a piece that is both a play and a theatrical ritual.

Inspired by the stories of the lost tribes of Israel, theatre dybbuk presents a full-length theatrical work, rich in movement, original music, and lyrical language that relates ancient mythological and tribal narratives to contemporary questions of integration, appropriation, and belonging.

tefillah

The first in a series of short works designed to illuminate the Jewish holidays.

Vessels creates a ritualistic performance experience.

The seven days of sitting Shiva serve as a framework for this exploration of atonement and loss, in the spirit of the High Holidays.

tefillah unpacks the vivid drama and moving humanity inherent in prayer services, by investigating their histories, legacies and structures.
