United Solo Fest Welcomes The Emancipation of the Sassy Jewish Woman 11/11

Sivan Hadari's one woman show, The Emancipation of a Sassy Jewish Woman will premier at the United Solo Festival at Theatre Row on November 11th . The performance is based on Hadari's experiences as a modern day gypsy, traveling through America, Israel, Egypt, Turkey, India, China and Thailand in search of a home. The audience is taken on a journey back to the time when Hadari's family were Jewish immigrants fleeing Tunisia, to a little girl praying at a Yeshiva in Brooklyn, to a caravan in a settlement over-looking Jericho, to a nude beach at the Dead Sea to jewel encrusted elephant rides in India, all in the name of liberation.
