<p>We move to Act 2, the coming together of ISAAC and REBECCA in as they begin to walk through life as a couple. Symbolically expressed language and imagry of commitment, marriage, childbirth, and the receiving of Torah. I have tried to equate the breaking of tablets to a ground memory, ancestral memory, or bodily memory within all life. Apology for the heterosexuality of it all, hopefully wavering in the multiplicity therein. </p>
<p>This is a poetic exploration <br />
told in 3 acts<br />
of contraction and expansion, <br />
searching and questioning, <br />
praying, of breaking,<br />
being on the land as a person of faith,<br />
this seeing of the stars in the sky, <br />
the seeds in the ground, <br />
the glass that breaks at weddings, <br />
The tablets that shatter in the sand<br />
The birth that exists here, <br />
and most of all hope. <br />
It is told through our matriarchs and partriarchs <br />
to show the continuation of our lineage <br />
interwoven with the living Torah of guidance.</p>
