Haggaddah March 29, 2009

Witness Relocation, which Performing Arts Journal dubbed "a dance-theater anarchist's utopia," will perform 'Haggaddah,' a work based on the Passover Seder. The project will link post-modern dance, narrative storytelling, rock concerts, lectures and dramatic scenes into a vibrant artistic rendering of one of the world's most ancient holidays. Audiences will be seated at a 50-foot-long table, with the show happening on and around it. The traditional Seder is a ritual theatricalization of the Exodus from Egypt on an intimate scale. This show examines the ritual in a large, post-modern context. There will be a spectacle combining dance, theater, music and design to immerse the audience in an intense re-envisioning of both the story and the act of coming together to tell it.
