LA Made: theatre dybbuk presents "exagoge"
Event Information
Description
Join the actors of theatre dybbuk for a performed reading of an adaptation of "exagoge," the first extant Jewish play, telling the Biblical Exodus narrative in the style of a Greek tragedy, written during the second century BCE.
theatre dybbuk has used the existing 269 lines of the original play and added to it, infusing the work with the experiences of refugees, immigrants, and the disenfranchised in our American society. The play highlights the shared struggles of ancient and modern peoples.
theatre dybbuk offers exciting, utterly singular, live experiences through the creation of provocative new works that blend physical theatre with dance, poetry, and music. With an in-depth development process that can range from months to two years, the company crafts each piece with a cast of dedicated professional actors, designers, musicians, and scholars. The resulting works, from the dark and visceral dance theatre of cave... a dance for lilith, to the life-affirming, music-rich festival piece, assemble: modern spin | ancient celebration, are challenging and beautiful to behold.
