Mayne Mentshn (My People), Act 1: The Klezmer Sketch (2000) (Excerpt)

MAYNE MENTSHN (My People) is a full evening work that comprises two parts: The Klezmer Sketch and The American Dream. In The Klezmer Sketch, Dorfman mines the exuberant, joyful, yet soulful quality of Klezmer music that inspired her to explore Jewish gesture, expression, ritual, character and values. She celebrates the uniqueness of the Jewish journey, and yet, the extraordinary universal connections that it engenders.
