About this show
With brutality and humour, Boaz Barkan digs into a living body to uncover a new organ – the place where our racism resides. Our Other Organ dissects antisemitism and its impact on Jewish identity, culminating in the creation of a new Zionist body and structures of violence and domination. The performance explores the anatomy of victims and oppressors as simultaneous conditions within the same body. Moving through bodies and time, it connects personal histories to collective trauma, tracing how oppression is embodied, reproduced and transformed into systems of power, fear and ultimately, genocide.

A challenging piece of experimental theatre that’s disturbing and not for the faint-hearted, but it certainly makes its point.
