What if our memories were born before we were born, and we get to witness, time and time again, a call-and-response between our ancestral myths, transpersonal experiences, and contemporary science? In their musical contribution to herbst cabaret, Jessika and Jimmy Khazrik revisit matriarchal tales of love, exile, and ecstasy indigenous to the multimillennial literature and oral transmissions of their Chaldo-Assyrian ancestry. Taking the form of a stellar cabaret ritual with a multiplicity of voices performed by a granddaughter, a father, and an immaterial mother, the divisive materiality of time collapses as an illusion. The audience is warmly invited to join this endless search for transgenerational healing through interludes delving into the body’s organs of perception.
