Osher and the Infinite Curtain

On his deathbed, Osher found spirit in autoplay—as he was hooked up to oxygen and lost the ability to speak, he watched hours and hours of Kabbalah YouTube. The Kabbalah of anger, forgiveness, of loss. He stopped acknowledging the presence of his daughter, Leye, and his husband, Sender. And then he died.

On his deathbed, Osher found spirit in autoplay—as he was hooked up to oxygen and lost the ability to speak, he watched hours and hours of Kabbalah YouTube. The Kabbalah of anger, forgiveness, of loss. He stopped acknowledging the presence of his daughter, Leye, and his husband, Sender. And then he died. Now, months after his passing, Leye visits the local Kabbalah Center, fueled by a desire to understand this change in her father. We travel through time (and web servers) to witness whether Leye and Sender can grapple with the loss of a loved one turned stranger.

    So beautiful and so rich. I’ve been thinking about OSHER regularly for the past few years.

    I’m blown away by the beauty and flow of language in this emotional play. I love a smart reimagination of a classic text, and this play updates THE DYBBUK in ways that feel sharp and challenging for our current moment. Its complex approach to spirituality, guilt and redemption should resonate for anyone, especially those facing the loss of a difficult loved one.

    A gorgeous, haunting piece. I will be thinking about it for years to come!
