Remember This Trick will explore American anti-Semitism, stories of Jewish survival, troubling conspiracy theories and the trickster spirit that will save us all. Created by Founding Artistic Director David Herskovits alongside a cohort of artists, this new play weaves together stories of Jewish survival amidst the fog of anti-Semitic conspiracy thinking that has descended on our time.
In a sense, Remember This Trick is no more or less than an artistically adventurous Purimshpil—the traditional Jewish retelling of the story of Esther. At the time of Purim, we remember how when forces gathered to exterminate the Jews, a savvy and courageous woman saved them.
