The Talmud

Based on the Talmud and kung fu films, Meta-Phys Ed.’s The Talmud is a genre-bending performance that draws from a century of Chinese martial arts cinema and a single chapter of the Talmud — a 5th-century text of Rabbinic Judaism. Featuring innovative production design, live kung fu movie cinematography and choreographed Talmudic debate, The Talmud is a confounding exploration of sacred wisdom and how ancient traditions survive the dangerous journey across generations.
