Rhythm travels, Rhythm migrates, Rhythm adapts, Rhythm resists. Rhythm is a vibration that synchronizes your heartbeat to the heartbeat of another. In this performance, Rhythm is the character of Jewish diaspora, reaching back in time to shared Jewish-Muslim worlds: worlds that were not defined by borders, nationalisms, or divisions that emerged with the advent of colonialism. The piece works with tap dance, extended vocal techniques, and live mixing to ask what the political and cultural history of diasporic Jewish rhythm (and its embodiment) can teach us in a time marked by polarization and violence.

Inspired by the work of scholar Ussama Makdisi (who traces the history of the “Jewish” and “Arab” binary invented in recent history) and artist and scholar Ariella Aisha Azoulay (who re-embodies the craft work of her Algerian ancestors to unlearn Zionist imperialism); Yasmeen Al-Qaisi, hoyah, Gry Tingskog and Anna Lublina look at the ancestral Jewish-Muslim rhythms they have become estranged from: Morocco, Bosnia, Uzbekistan, Andalusia, Yemen, Romania, Palestine. In their research, they have traced the path of the rhythms in the archive, seeing how they changed as their worlds encountered colonial, imperial, and national projects like the Soviet Union, Israel, the mandate system. The rhythms have changed (more or less), just like we have changed— increasingly assimilating into the white western colonial world. 5/7 into 4/4, music in the home moved onto the stages of philharmonics. something shared engages with the political history of these rhythms but it also interrogates our initial premise. Is there a pure ancestral rhythm that we have lost? That the world has corrupted? Probably not. Music and rhythm, like food or technology, cannot be contained by ethnic, religious, or national borders. It contaminates, evolves, mixes, assimilates, advances, resists.

The creation of this performance was supported by: Ottilie Roederstein Stipendiem from the Hessian Ministry of Science, Research, Art and Culture; Frankfurt Kulturamt; Kulturamt Gießen; Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. Development supported by the LAB at English Theater Berlin and Ma’r’ayah Fellowship for Jewish and Muslim artists at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien.
