Interrogating Israeli Folk Dance: Filmscreening Everything You Have Is Yours

Hadar Ahuvia, Tatyana Tenenbaum

January 16, 2026 | 6:00 PM | Arthouse-Kino | mdw-campus#Filmscreening #Discussion

In Everything You Have Is Yours, NYC-based choreographer Hadar Ahuvia interrogates the roots of the Israeli folk dances she grew up dancing with her mother in the U.S. Confronting romanticized stories about her grandparents, settlers in 1930s Palestine, Ahuvia embarks on a personal journey to reckon with the founding mythologies and transgressions of Zionism.

 

Through her work, a web of artistic portraits emerges— Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian dancers living in New York City grapple with the questions of what we inherit and what we embody to carry forward.
