A 10-minute danced duet on Ashkenazi, American Jewish identity.  The dancers weave together steps from Jewish folkdance with elements of ritual and prayer, yoga asanas, and vocabulary from the dance club.  The sound score features excerpts of audio interviews with young Ashkenazi Jews grappling with questions of whiteness, privilege, assimilation, and cultural appropriation.
