In the Jewish year 5785, we celebrate the story of the feminist role models Vasti and Esther. How do they manage to avert the cast Purim lottery ticket and save the Jewish diaspora? During this holiday, the Megillat Esther (Book of Esther) is read and in some synagogues the story is enacted on stage as a dramatic Purimshpil. But it’s not just on stage that people dress up - the guests also come to Purim in costume and become part of the story during the evening.


In reference to the Ballhouse Culture, in which progressive Jews also found refuge, the Institute for New Social Sculpture, in cooperation with the Münchner Kammerspiele, presents a contemporary Purimsphil, in which diasporic utopian parallel worlds and alliances take center stage. In a ballroom performance, Jewish and non-Jewish dancers and members of the Münchner Kammerspiele ensemble will engage in a battle. At the same time, the Megillah Esther will be read and everyone will become members of the House of Diaspora to celebrate into the night afterwards.


Everyone is welcome. Regardless of religion and gender. Costumes welcome! Due to the increased security measures of the event, there may be increased waiting times at the entrance. Coats, jackets and large bags must be left at the checkroom. Admission only with valid photo ID. The performance starts at 20:00, followed by the party from approx. 21:30.

An event organized by the Institute for New Social Sculpture in cooperation with the Association of Jewish Students in Bavaria.
