“I am the map, the quilt, and the tablecloth of those who have come before me. While rethreading the links, I consider our struggle to stay connected to each other as I uncover resistance of my non-Black, Jewish and Black, non-Jewish families.” —Adam McKinney
HaMapah is a multimedia dance performance that traces the intersections of dancer Adam McKinney’s multiple heritages: maternal ancestors from Russia, Poland, Austria, Galicia and Spain; paternal ancestors from Benin, Arkansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin. In Hebrew, HaMapah means “the tablecloth” or “the map.” HaMapah weaves contemporary dance with archival material, personal interviews, Yiddish and American songs, and video set to traditional, contemporary, and classical music. Co-Sponsored by Wellesley College Hillel.
