Shekhina is a multidisciplinary show combining dramatic writing, musical composition on the double bass, singing and movement. The play uses the means of music (song and double bass), speech (French with elements of Polish) and movement to research the concept of home and exile, wandering and belonging, spirituality and cultural heritage.

​

This theatrical work includes three levels of reading which are declined in the feminine: the notion of the divine in the form of the Shekhina, the grandmothers who represent the past generations marked by the Second World War and finally Schätzeli, a contemporary woman representing the third generation after the war, who seeks to define her own identity without cutting herself from her roots. From a formal point of view, music is of paramount importance in this production. Musicality of the French language, musical compositions inspired by Klezmer, Jewish prayers from Eastern Europe, but also gypsy melodies create many rhythms and tones that will come to weave in a single thread of needing to feel at home, in oneself.
