Sara Felder: Out of Sight January 30, 2011

Sara Felder's new solo show, 'Out of Sight,' is a story of a nearly-blind mother and her lesbian daughter who try to "see" each other as they navigate their passionate differences around the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Felder, who began her career with the Pickle Family Circus, integrates circus arts with her story, bringing juggling tricks, shadow puppets and a Jewish, queer sensibility to questions of family loyalties and politics. Set mainly in the early 1980s, 'Out of Sight' explores serious contemporary issues, while keeping you laughing and marveling at the finesse of Felder's juggling skills along the way.
