Show Description
The
Forward and the Foundation for Jewish Culture present
“Eli
Valley vs the Sway Machinery in the Temple of Self Hatred”
With
special guests Girls In Trouble
Eli
Valley, maker of mind-bending comics, teams up with Jeremiah Lockwood and The
Sway Machinery, makers of mind-bending melodies, for an evening of neurotic
superheroes, paranoid turtles, memories, music and mayhem. Valley’s work
has brought back a marauding sensibility to The Forward, the landmark Jewish
newspaper formed in 1897 as a bulwark of secular Jewish culture in
America. The Sway Machinery has reinvented and reinvigorated cantorial
melodies for a post-punk age. Together, they play off each other like a
rabbi and cantor of a synagogue on the other side of sanity. Watch them mix and mash styles, share personal stories
and narrate comics to a live, avant-semitic soundtrack, bringing a kinetic new
spin to contemporary Jewish culture.
With
special guests Girls In Trouble previewing their new CD, a reading from the
winner of the Goldberg
Prize for Jewish Fiction by Emerging Writers and other
prizewinning surprises.
