Make Me Out of Clay
A dancer transforms into a golem - a supernatural vigilante made of riverbed clay - tasked with protecting the most vulnerable. In Make Me Out of Clay, 30-something Jewish enby, Ella-Gabriel, draws on Jewish folklore to reckon with violence and colonialism, past and present. Through movement, text, and ritual they grapple with their great-grandfather's role in settling Jewish refugees on stolen land and reconsider the definitions of strength and survival handed down from the previous generation.
