Avi Amon | MOTHER/ROAD

A multimedia meditation on the borders between experience and memory. Part concept album, part memoir, part immersive concert, Avi Amon’s MOTHER/ROAD invites audiences to participate in an act of emotional memory.

For this production, Amon creates a musical meditation on grief, memory, and family using cassette tapes carried by his parents when they immigrated to the United States from Istanbul in 1979.

Free Public Program: Between Experience and Remembrance
The Shed | Saturday, July 18
Directly following the 2 pm performance of MOTHER/ROAD

This community conversation, led by theater-maker and rabbi Kendell Pinkney and Avi Amon, draws on the ancient ritual of havruta, a practice of studying texts in pairs. With the aim of creating shared meaning in real time, this havruta will open a space for collective reflection on the themes of MOTHER/ROAD. We’ll discuss grief and joy as portals into deep time, memory and its transmission across generations, and the space between an experience and our recollection of it.
