Liraz, who will perform at this year’s Festival.
Both a cultural mainstay and B.C.’s largest and most prominent Jewish festival, The Chutzpah! Festival will make a triumphant return to Vancouver’s cultural calendar from November 3 to November 24, 2022. This year’s event will feature a wide variety of entertainment for all ages. Building on two decades of diverse history, this year’s festival will continue to celebrate international dance, music, theatre, storytelling, multimedia arts, and comedy. All of this will represent the breadth and depth of an eclectic, multicultural, and deeply contemporary Jewish experience. Creative BC is delighted to support the Festival via its Live Music program, delivered via its Amplify BC fund.
The two-week festival will offer numerous concerts, new dance works, cabarets, and multimedia events. Highlights include an opening night cabaret, “Not a Day Goes by”, with City Opera Vancouver and a roster of talented local singers, celebrating the music of Stephen Sondheim; pianist Leslie Dala delivering the piano suites of composer Philip Glass in conjunction with Ne. Sans Opera & Dance’s world premiere of Hourglass, and Auto Jansz sharing a series of folk ballads with The Flame’s storytellers, to name but a few. This year will also mark the debut of a series within the Festival showcasing the the work of Persian artists of Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds. The series will culminate in performance by Persian-Jewish contemporary artist Liraz.
Dan and Claudia Zanes, who have also contributed to this year’s Festival.
As in prior years, the Festival will also feature many artistic presentations for all ages. Examples include family and school shows featuring Dan and Claudia Zanes, offering accessible and relaxed performances, as well as the return of local company Axis Theatre, and their play Th’owxyia: The Hungry Feast Dish, inspired by a timeless, charming, and instructive Kwantlen First Nation tale of a sly little mouse who outwits an ogress.
