âHymanâs one-man performance piece transports the Orthodoxy of that Hasidic tale to secular America... his transformations reveal the essence of character in simple choreographic strokes.ââThe Jerusalem Post
Yehuda Hyman, one of Americaâs great storytellers, is a playwright, actor, poet, choreographer and dancer whose work explores the intersection of theatre, dance, poetry, myth and mysticism. He will perform The Mad 7, a modern-day riff on The Seven Beggars, a Jewish folktale written more than two centuries ago by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Written by Hyman and directed by Mara Isaacs, The Mad 7 tells the epic tale of Elliot Green, a San Francisco office drone turned reluctant hero who embarks on a strange and mystical quest. Through music, dance and uniquely personal storytelling, Hyman offers a hilarious, offbeat and moving story of spiritual awakening and self-discovery.
The Mad 7 was originally developed at the Rhodopi Theatre Institute in Bulgaria and premiered at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey, in 2008. The show was performed to rave reviews at the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival.
The performance will be followed by a discussion with Hyman.Location: Scene Dock Theatre (SCD) - Scene Dock Theatre
