 Program:\n\nThe Contemporary Jewish Museum is pleased to present its 
 inaugural dance performance in its now iconic “Yud” gallery with a 
 presentation of Rebecca Pappas’ evening-length work Monster, presented as 
 part of Nextbook's Jewish Body Festival.\n\nSince the new building opened 
 in June of 2008, the Yud gallery, designed for sound installation and 
 performance, has become a highly sought-after performance space, combining 
 Daniel Libeskind’s soaring architecture with state-of-the-art audio 
 technology.\n\nCalled "compelling" and "mesmerizing" by the Los Angeles 
 Times, Monster immerses viewers in a world where the line between human and 
 monster grows increasingly thin. It weaves together theatrical, monstrous 
 creatures, high-energy pseudo-folk dances, and probing questions about 
 Jewish identity, shame, and what it means to be a victim and a victimizer 
 to create a provocative picture of the Jewish body in Diaspora.\n\nAfter 
 the performance, choreographer Rebecca Pappas will discuss the creation of 
 Monster, which will include a multi-media presentation exploring the 
 “history” of the Jewish body, and the contemporary legacy of trauma as 
 defined by a variety of textual sources.\n\nMonster is presented in 
 conjunction with the Museum exhibition There’s a Mystery There: Sendak on 
 Sendak.\n\nSponsors:\n\nThe performances are presented in partnership with 
 Nextbook Inc., as part of Jewish Body Week - a series of events around the 
 country exploring the subjects raised in Melvin Konner's 2009 book, The 
 Jewish Body. Nextbook Inc. is a nonprofit organization promoting Jewish 
 culture through its public programs, its Jewish Encounters book series 
 (including The Jewish Body) published by Nextbook Press/Schocken, and 
 Tablet Magazine, Nextbook's new daily online publication. For more
