Ariel Efraim Ashbel & Rachel Libeskind
On the occasion of the high holiday series of performances, Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends are presenting a new “Dialectics of Departure”: a walk by Ariel Efraim Ashbel and Rachel Libeskind, through which the artists are exploring Berlin’s Jewish History and transforming it into contemporary inclusive rituals.
The walk takes place in the week of Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. On this day, Jewish tradition asks us to shed the burdens of our past transgressions and emerge with renewed social contracts through asking for forgiveness, making amends and reflecting on the past year.
The site will be the shore (“Ufer”) of Hebbel am Ufer at Landwehrkanal. Walking along the man-made water path, one of the industrial veins of Berlin, the participants will reflect on rituals of renewal and release, with the hope of tracing new ways for thinking together that, like water, are fluid, unstable and in constant movement.
approx. 120 mins.
