STATELESS is a play about performers and the power of collaboration. The show is a multi-media collage of hip-hop performance, vaudeville, magic tricks, comedy, history and folks songs that bend time, connecting these contemporary performers to a famous German-Jewish vaudeville troupe from the 1920’s, The Gebrueder Wolf.

This play comes on the heels of the incredible success of Wolf’s Angry Black White Boy that played to sold out houses and had multiple extensions at Intersection For The Arts.

Master storyteller Brenda Wong Aoki weaves together Indian, Afro-Peruvian, Mayan and Korean dance companies with her own Japanese Noh and Kyogen training, telling the Japanese legend of Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess. Accompanied by musicians and led by composer Mark Izu, this story highlights how dance and music can bring light in times of darkness. This visually alluring, multi-cultural performance premiered to sold-out crowds at the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival and features Shreelata Suresh, De Rompe y Raja Cultural Association, Northern California Korean Dance Association and Ensambles Ballet Folklórico de San Francisco.

Wasserstein’s hit comedy reunites three Jewish-American sisters: Sara, the head of an international bank who is “assimilated beyond her wildest dreams”; Pfeni, a globetrotting journalist; and Gorgeous, a housewife, mother and Massachusetts radio personality.

Offering sharp truths on what divides relatives and what draws them together, the play explores how women define themselves through romances, careers and family.

Enjoy this performance in Kanbar Hall at the JCCSF.
