Event
Stateless
In this work of hip hop theater, Dan Wolf, the great grand nephew of Ludwig Wolf (writer of Hamburg, Germany's most famous song, Een echt Hamborger Jung), returns to Hamburg to make a film about his family. Using tatter found in his grandmother's basement--a picture of two dockworkers, a costume, a long letter from his grandfather--Wolf links his Jewish past with his present search for self. Through a pastiche of rhyme, dialogue and song, we are led from Hamburg to Shanghai, New York and San Francisco through anti-Semitism, the assimilation of Jewish culture and the rediscovery of an artistic legacy.
The JCC performance will mix select scenes from the play with excerpts from the film, providing a unique cross-medium journey that is not to be missed. A Q&A will follow the show.
