Using spirituality as a vessel for connection and a common denominator between two distinct yet interconnected religions. Empathy, trust, and intimacy are shared within the multitudes of relationships we embody with each other. Grounded in the performers’ religious backgrounds—Muslim and Jewish—they navigate the complexities of their identities to give access to be with each other and see from the other side.
“And now our bodies knew bodies,
They danced in unison, they got tired
They found rest without darkness Our
bodies, the performers of labor and care
could feel and breathe together Our bodies
now weren’t afraid of a sunset.”
