Rachel is obsessed with the myth of ‘Lahmed Vovnik’ – The Thirty Six – a Talmudic suggestion that there are 36 special people in the world, and were it not for them, all of them, even if one was missing, the world would come to an end. Tradition holds that their identities are unknown both to each other and themselves, and that they hold the fate of the world on their shoulders.
The making of this show will see Rachel ask ‘If you were going in search of the 36 righteous people, what terms would you search under, how do you break-down ‘goodness’, what would it be like to know that your actions were being morally offset?’

Rachel has been in working on the show in residency at The Bikeshed, this will be a short performance and discussion about the project in its early stages.
