HaMapahDNAWorks presents HaMapah, a multimedia dance journey tracing the intersections of African, Jewish and Native American heritages. In Hebrew, "HaMapah" means "the tablecloth" or "the map." HaMapah weaves contemporary dance with archival material, personal interviews, Yiddish and American songs and video set to traditional, contemporary and classical music. This performance explores issues of identity, culture, selfhood and community

Following the performance, DNAWorks Co-Directors Adam McKinney and Daniel Banks will lead a community dialogue about the audience's relationship to the core ideas of the piece—the personal and the collective, the present and the past.
