I Will Move as if Intoxicated: Piyyut Theater in the footsteps of Rabbi Israel Najara

An original multidisciplinary theatrical performance that confronts the yearning for exaltation, and the attraction between a man and a woman, who live together but do not meet. Piyyut is an expression of the eternal longing for oneness. The new melodies for the piyyutim by the great poet Rabbi Israel Najara are performed by a women’s choir.
