The Telling: Into The Melting Pot

About

Be transported to Medieval Spain

Experience the soundtrack to the lives of Christian, Jewish & Arabic women in the stunning setting of The Opus Theatre with atmospheric candlelight and lighting design.

Spain. July 1492: the deadline for the expulsion of the Jews. At twilight, a Jewish woman lights the lamps and starts up her spinning wheel. It is her last night in Seville.

Stories of integration, love, cultural heritage & radical intolerance experienced by a community of Jewish, Christian & Muslim women in Spain to a soundtrack of plaintive Sephardic songs & lively medieval Cantigas.
