Purim X House of Diaspora Vol. 2

In the organizer's words:

Based on Ballhouse Culture, the Institute for New Social Sculpture and the Münchner Kammerspiele are presenting a contemporary Purimshpil that focuses on diasporic-utopian parallel worlds and alliances. In a ballroom performance, Jewish and non-Jewish dancers and members of the Münchner Kammerspiele ensemble will engage in a battle. At the same time, the book Esther will be read and all attendees will become members of the House of Diaspora and then celebrate into the night on the stage of the Münchner Kammerspiele.

Tickets via Münchner Kammerspiele

Purim is one of the happiest Jewish festivals, although it tells of the planned annihilation of the Jewish diaspora in the Persian kingdom, because [self-] salvation is the main focus. Every year, Jews celebrate the story of the feminist role models of Purim: Vashti and Esther and answer the question: How do they manage to save the Jewish diaspora?
During the holiday, the Megillah Esther (Book of Esther) is read. In some synagogues, the story is performed on stage as a Purimshpil. And the guests also come in costume on Purim and become part of the story.

The event is supported by the Verband Jüdischer Studenten in Bayern e.V. and Keshet e.V.
