ATARA – FOR YOU, WHO HAS NOT YET FOUND THE ONE

As part of the Jewish Music and Theatre Week 2021

With ATARA, Reut Shemesh looks at the different perspectives of Orthodox and secular Jewish women regarding gender roles, sexuality and the desire for intimacy. Based on photographs, a series of interviews and the participants’ own experiences, reality, reenactment and fake are interwoven and the links between guilt, shame and the female body are explored. The result is an oscillating dialogue of different world views that irritates clichés, prejudices and one’s own way of life in equal measure.
