a name / שם is a service by Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends. Through the sounds of words and music, it invites a moving togetherness, understanding “the spiritual” in all its fabulous fleshiness. Drawing from traditional Jewish thinking, a name / שם is an embrace of a mythical narrative of compassion, and a plea towards a community of others, because “love’s in need of love today”. a name / שם is created based on the 2023 stage show The Names / שמות and features LABOUR (Colin Hacklander, Farahnaz Hatam), Ravid Kahalani and Senthuran Varatharajah.
