Using dance and the saxophone as their artistic tools, Maya Neuman and Noah Hofvander bring new life to traditional Jewish melodies. Through a staged encounter where movement, music, and nostalgia intertwine, the performance celebrates Jewish culture, tradition, and the joy of live performance.

The work premiered at the Jewish Book Festival at Konstakademin in Stockholm in the spring of 2026. Following the performance, the project was awarded a grant to preserve and further develop the work through a professional film recording, allowing it to reach new audiences beyond the live stage.
