Barry: Mamaloshen in Dance!

Barry: Mamaloshen in Dance! celebrates life and the beauty of Yiddish culture through the beloved music of the Barry Sisters. The soundtrack of so many lives expressed in a production of nostalgia and an iconic sound of the past. The decimated communities of the pogroms and Holocaust are not forgotten and live forever in dance.
”…bringing our loved ones back to life…”

Watch: Tous Les Dangers

This chilling, “hair-raising” piece explores the many looks of female internal struggle, regret and the hope to find a peace of mind. Fully ridden with anxiety, the duet to artist Loli Tsan’s poem, Tous Les Dangers, depicts a dark reality, or perhaps just a memory of a haunting past. Is it real? A dream? And how many women are really present? When the scissors come out, there is no telling what they will do next…

Autobiographical in nature, Asya’s STORM (2017) fleshes out Gustav Holst’s powerful Planets Suite. The characters exhibit extreme emotional states, but ultimately represent the varying beautiful and petrifying emotions which can all be found in a single human being.

Inspired by children’s artwork from Theresienstadt, the choreography attempts to imagine a live version of the drawings. Each scene is represented by sections in the piece, set to Brahm’s 16 waltzes, and brought to life through movement. The show is dedicated to Jewish and other artists that refused to shed their humanity and life’s work in the face of extermination, and found humor, dignity and theater in the pits of hell.
