In the week of the Jewish holiday of Shavu'ot, and as the grand finale to their programme “The Omer Count”, Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends present a participatory ritual inspired by the medieval tradition of “Tikkun”. Hebrew for “amending” or “correcting”, the “Tikkun” of Shavu’ot is a communal night of learning. Inspired by this, from 9 pm to 5 am, the audience is invited to a unique gathering, not a show but a living space for happening and exchange, centered on the main question of “The Omer Count”: What makes a society possible?
The night is made up of various actions: There will be talking, telling stories and interpreting traditions; performing and image-making; a nocturnal walk through the neighbourhood, guided by artist Alona Rodeh; some snacks and drinks and a lot of food for thought, time for dozing off and dreaming; a surprise tattooing; all accompanied by live music and a choir.
The eight hours of the occasion will stretch between quiet and loud, offering a varied experiences that are psychedelic embodied as they are spiritual and intellectual. With snacks and in pajamas, “Tikkun” is a comfortable place to hang out and learn together through the long hours of the night, until the sun comes up and we slowly pack up our things to return to the waking world.
