Description

7 Beggars is a hip-hop adaptation of Reb Nachman's 19th century epic folktale, first told in 1809, and long considered the crown jewel of the Jewish folkloric tradition. Combining hip-hop theatre, beatboxing, and live instrumentation, Tim spins a very urban version of this tale of beggars, dreamers, and revolutionaries seeking love and justice against the darkly illuminated background of a world at war. Featuring live accompaniment by multi-instrumentalist Brandi Brandes (vibraphone, drums, electronics and loops).
