International conference at the University of Music Hamburg 1. – 3. March 2022
The presence of Jewish Culture in Europe is going back to the times of the Roman Empire. In 2021 Germany has celebrated 1700 years of Jewish life and culture. The city of Hamburg decided in 2020 to rebuild the large synagogue on Bornplatz, which had been destroyed in 1938 during the Reichskristallnacht. On this occasion, the University of Music in Hamburg initiates an international conference on Jewish music in Hamburg past and present, in which Hervé Roten, Director of the EIJM, will participate along with Edwin Seroussi (Jerusalem), Jasha Nemtsov (Weimar), Reinhard Flender (Hamburg) and Yuval Shaked (Haifa).

Choreography: Jessica Bonamy
Music and Oud: Abderraouf Ouertani
Dance and Song : Amalia Alba, Jessica Bonamy
Set design: Antonin Heck
A creation by the Safra Company, in co-production with the mahJ
In her piece Ta’am, choreographer Jessica Bonamy starts with te’amim, the vocalization signs of Hebrew liturgical texts.
She echoes these sung tropes with the corresponding hand signs. If they allow the transmission of the verb – or the biblical verse -, it is through their choreography that the piece brings out its musicality.
Danced in space, they invite us to taste, through the body and the voice, what comes to life in speech.
