Passover play that follows one family through various eras gets Bay Area premiere at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley.
Paola and Davide share their first Passover Seder in America in “In Every Generation.”There is desperation lurking within Paola’s eyes, a fountain of scorching tears teetering on the brink of eruption as she embraces Davide, who clutches her body and her soul even more profoundly, in return. As he matches her piercing gaze with one of his own, she makes a demand of him.The palpable reminder of death adorns the arm he caresses Paola with as she makes her plea.
Much of the story follows a narrative that exudes a controlled, scattershot vibe with infinite transitions, conversations bouncing everywhere to mostly great effect. The issues lay blame at the feet of every generation within the Levi-Katz family, a unit that finds conflicts aplenty as members reckon with their Jewish faith.
Yael uses her Ivy League education to remind the family that it’s not the Jewish people who are oppressed in modern American society. Dev confides in Yael her plans to attend rabbinical school despite a lineage rooted not in biology, but adoption from a Chinese orphanage. The banter moves at a fluid clip, handled sharply as sentiments oscillate freely between joy and devastation. Those sentiments ask the critical questions many cultures reckon with, including who has the right to possess suffering; and what is the role of generational trauma in our current lives. The youngest generation is given an opportunity to advocate for itself and help shape a worldview, one which often comes in conflict with the generations who built the world they now occupy.
