90 minute film
Q&A with Hadar Ahuvia, Brighid Greene and Tatyana Tenenbaum; moderated by Marin Sander-Holzman
Directed by Tatyana Tenenbaum, produced by Brighid Greene, inspired by the work and story of Hadar Ahuvia.
In this sensitively crafted documentary film, choreographer Hadar Ahuvia interrogates the roots of the Israeli folk dances she grew up dancing with her mother. Facing romanticized stories about her grandparents, Zionist ‘kibbutznik’ settlers in Palestine in the 1930’s, she begins a personal endeavor unpacking and confronting the appropriative origins of this inherited dance. Through this vulnerable, personal story a larger weaving of powerful artistic portraits emerge— Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian dancers living in New York City question what is inherited and what to choose to carry forward.
