Hama’abada presents “After Death”: A seven sketch fugue for three women.
The play’s plot is based on a range of stories about Jacob-Israel, the man and symbol.Only this time, his wives take the stand and talk about his death and their lives, here and now they are present. The play is structured as a fugue, with motives which return in changing musical and emotional tempo, word play, body positioning, spirit and soul emphasizing the uniqueness of each wife- by being together, but not united in grief.At the Shiva ceremony which invites honesty along with grief, they don’t worry about speaking their mind, exposing what they feel: hate, love, reservation.
