WHAT’S ON
Join Psychopomp Dance, Jewish Family Services and The City of West Hollywood on May 15th for a craft fair, dance performance and talk back with refreshments.
Location: Fiesta Hall in Plummer Park 1166 N. Vista Street West Hollywood
630PM Craft Fair and market of local Jewish artists and makers
7PM Dance performance of Der Golem with a meet and greet/talk back with refreshments
In Der Golem Psychopomp re-invents the Jewish mythological and culturally ubiquitous creature of the Golem. Through ritualistic acrobatic dance, a sewing machine and unique textiles our characters create a massive fabric sculptural Golem before the audience’s very eyes. Guaranteed to be a fun filled, meaningful and totally awesome dance and art event! Great for all ages. This project is in part supported by the City of West Hollywood and presented in partnership with JFSLA.
Our Golem can’t wait to meet you!

With a short talk back to follow.
Inspired by the biblical story of Shemot or the Exodus story, this exhilarating dance theater work performed by five eclectic dance artists explores how our own ancestral experiences of bondage, freedom and redemption continues to shape our present day lives. This work was first commissioned by the Brand Library Dance Series in May 2023. Since then it has been performed at Highways Performance Space in Psychopomp’s CHAOS! Festival in August 2023, Temple Akiba in Culver City in 2024 and The Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center in 2024.
This performance is in part supported by the City of Burbank and the Cultural Arts Grant
