Edgy and funny - a sharply observed, poignant memoir of a type of spiritual coming-of-age that is all too rarely shared or documented... unsentimental, yet moving. - Dr. Pinchas Giller, University of Judaism |

Cutting My Hair in Jerusalem is a solo performance recalling the voyage of an American feminist setting off for Jerusalem to recover the tradition her family left behind. With a unique blend of movement, characterization and spoken word, Andrea takes you on a journey through a set of wonderfully entangled historical, hysterical, emotional, and spiritual stories. Travel with Andrea from the ancient study halls of the Rabbis to the Yale dining hall on "ethnic food night"; from the Jerusalem bus where she contemplates selling her hair for a wig, to her own highly untraditional, traditional Jewish wedding.
By turns meditative, poignant and ironic, the piece is an entrancing exploration of the textures of tradition, modernity, language, culture …and hair. Why bring Cutting My Hair in Jerusalem to your venue? Cutting My Hair helps people connect: the words and movements powerfully evoke new insights from audience members about their own experiences. Cutting My Hair engages and impacts: both the performance and the discussion which follows stay with the audience long after the evening is over. Cutting My Hair satisfies: people come back again. . . and bring their friends! For booking information click here. |
