Join us on Tuesday, May 6th at 7:00 pm at DCTV Firehouse Cinema in NYC for an in-person screening of Everything You Have Is Yours. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Tatyana Tenenbaum and film subject Shirly Bahar, moderated by Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel.
In Everything You Have Is Yours, NYC-based choreographer Hadar Ahuvia interrogates the roots of the Israeli folk dances she grew up dancing with her mother in the United States. Confronting romanticized stories about her grandparents, settlers in 1930s Palestine, Ahuvia embarks on a personal journey to reckon with the founding mythologies and transgressions of Zionism. Through her work, a web of artistic portraits emerges—Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian dancers living in New York City grapple with the questions of what we inherit and what we embody to carry forward.
Director Tatyana Tenenbaum conveys the power of dance as an embodied medium for grieving, healing, resistance, and reclamation. Everything You Have Is Yours honors these powerful associations, reminding us of our shared humanity and the need for collective liberation.
The film features members of Palestinian-American Freedom Dabka Group as well as choreographer Ze’eva Cohen and Ahuvia’s collaborators Mor Mendel, Gil Sperling, lily bo shapiro, and zavé martohardjono.
