Dinner And Delusion

Synopsis:
Dinner and Delusion begins and ends with Passover Seders that take place 60 years apart. On Passover, 1949, a 13-year-old boy misbehaves with his aunt Rosie. When he is locked in a closet for his misdeeds, he meets the prophet elijah, who tells him that Rosie is the Shekkinah, the apparition of God as a female body, a.k.a. the eternal Feminine. Dinner and Delusion explores temporal and mystical aspects of love and family with humor and passion with a stylistically engaging score that references world music, to contemporary Americana, and classic Klezmer sounds.

Hey Jude
