Bible Women
by Elizabeth Swados
Synopsis
This song cycle commissioned by Ma’yan – a non-profit organization aimed to empower women in Jewish ritual and contemporary Jewish culture – presents women from the Bible as strong rock and cabaret singers with their own version of traditional stories.
The show, a dynamic feminist reading of these characters, gives voice to Esther, Ruth, Sarah, Miriam, Lilith, Eve, Deborah and more.
Bible Women debuted in New York at the Bottom Line and La Mama before touring seven cities.
More recently, a concert version was presented at the Museum of Biblical Art alongside an exhibit by the sculptor Tobi Kahn.
