Days of Awe
A year after her mother’s death, a poet in recovery moves home to Philadelphia to get a divorce and begin again. Set during the ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, Days of Awe blends poetry, storytelling, and chutzpah into a lyrical reckoning with grief, desire, and the inheritances we carry.
From sleepless West Philly stoops to a Chicago rehab center in fluorescent winter and the ghost-lit borderlands of the Pale of Settlement, this solo show traverses geographies and generations, tracing a lineage of Jewish women through silence, survival, and return.
Told with equal parts reverence and irreverence, Days of Awe draws on family history and Jewish ritual to ask how we can carry loss while allowing ourselves to fall back in love with the world.
Days of Awe is presented as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and Cannonball, a curated series of independent performances.
