We are the inhabitants of Yidderland, actors in communication with the ancestors of the present-past-future. We channel a model of Jewishness - one that understands Judaism as a diaspora tradition of constantly changing practices that emerge from intracultural relationships. Our performance is based in its structure on a Jewish funeral procession: a moving and sounding body that stops seven times for contemplation. But instead of reciting the prayer according to tradition, every pause is a ritual act spoken in Yidderish; a language that arises from the decomposition and embodiment of Yiddish without having learned the language. Do we hold a funeral for Yiddish? We don't believe. We express the echo of the diaspora. UNDYING IN YIDDERLAND uses the invisible legacy of gestures, emotions and instincts to move towards a newly designed future. We are the inhabitants of Yidderland, actors in communication with ancestors in the present-past-future. We channel a model of Jewishness – one that understands Judaism as a diasporic tradition of ever-changing practices that emerge out of intra-cultural relationships. Our performance borrows its structure from a Jewish funeral procession: a moving and sounding body that pauses 7 times for contemplation. But instead of reciting the prayer per tradition, each pause is a ritual act spoken in Yidderish; a language built through the dissection and embodiment of Yiddish without learning the language. Are we holding a funeral for Yiddish? We don’t think so. We are voicing the echo of diaspora. UNDYING IN YIDDERLAND uses the invisible inheritances of gesture, emotion, and instinct to move towards a reimagined future.
