In Thy Blood Live
The performance forms a new purification ceremony in Hebrew and Arabic, at times a prophecy ritual that appears in the book of Ezekiel (Chapter 16*), ranging from a state of fertility and abundance to a form of punishment. It also appears in the Passover Haggadah texts - which Moroccan Jews used to read in Hebrew and Arabic alternately.
The performance includes building and assembling artificial body parts, collecting pomegranate seeds, and eating with a joint blessing for the artist and the audience.
The performance was held at Museum on the Seam for Contemporary Social Art, Jerusalem.
