About the Project
Everything You Have Is Yours is inspired by the story and award-winning work of choreographer Hadar Ahuvia. Hadar is the granddaughter of Zionist ‘kibbutzniks,’ collectivist pioneers who paved the way for Israel’s statehood. Through the prism of Israeli folk dance, Hadar cracks open the founding mythologies of Zionism to reckon with the erasure, displacement, and racism folded into Israel’s history. Featuring artistic voices from the surrounding New York City dance community, the film is a fearless portrait of a generation’s disillusionment with Zionism at a time when fraught stories of US history are also being unearthed. The ongoing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians continues to be taboo within US mainstream media and amongst politicians— Democrats and Republicans alike. At the same time, with the growth of white nationalism, antisemitism is on the rise. Through embodiment and personal testimony, American-Jewish, Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian-Americans dancers bring these complex cultural lineages to life.
