TITLE: FLOORED

PROJECT: FLOORED is an experiential ritual of deconstruction and breakdown based on the notorious Aleinu liturgy. Combining poetic translation, choreographic provocation and monumental aesthetics, this installation upends the widespread reading of Aleinu as a call to “repair the world,” and emphasizes instead its call to smash idols.

TEXT: “...and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.” Exodus 32:19
