Shabbat Dinner – Bondi Feast
Eat while chewing over ideas of the role of women, food and family in one eye-opening meal.
Overview
How much do you know about Australian Jewish culture? Jessica Bellamy (writer of Sprout and Bat Eyes) knows a lot, she’s just written a play about it, and she's preparing to cook you a Jewish dinner. It's Shabbat Dinner, an immersive play directed by Anthony Skuse (4000 Miles, Punk Rock) which looks at the place of women, family and food in contemporary Jewish culture.
The play weaves in traditions and rites over the course of a Shabbat dinner prepared by Bellamy herself. As the feast is served to you and the performers, everyone becomes involved in the story. While you eat you take part in the creation and eventual disintegration of a new community.
Like Bellamy's previous works, it promises to be poetic and questioning. Shabbat Dinner plays at the Bondi Feast festival from July 23-26. Dinner is included in the $15 ticket and vegetarians are catered to.
