We are so excited to announce Where Do Stories Come From? (fun vanen nemen zikh di mayses), a new live interdisciplinary collaboration with Chutzpah! Festival. This project began through an artist residency at KlezKanada’s 2023 Retreat and will premiere at Chutzpah! on November 12th.
This project features Yiddish poetry from Canadian women poets, newly set to music and performed by Sarah Larsson and accompanied by Crankies illustrated by Cesario Lavery, Ava Berkson, and Benny Ferdman. Dramaturgy and translation by Faith Jones. Benny’s crankie will also feature artwork from the participants of our 2023 Summer Retreat Camp Wildcraft program.
