As part of Sukkot: hosting the hosts
Sukkot: hosting the hosts is part of the new performance series The high holidays of 5786 by Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends, which will take place at various venues from September to December 2025. Further information via www.ashbela.com
Friday night is when the holiday within the holiday begins: Shabbat - the day of rest - takes place weekly from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. During this time, people come together to honor rest, reflection and community.
On the third day of Sukkot: hosting the hosts, artist Jen Rosenblit invites you to the Sukkah in the Sophiensæle Festsaal. Over wine and snacks, audience and hosts congregate and engage in a performative ritual based on the tradition of the Kiddush – a Friday night procedure welcoming the Shabbat and marking the transition and tensions between the holy and the mundane.

Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends is a Berlin-based group consisting of professional performers, musicians, thinkers and many other collaborators from various fields. Interdisciplinarity and a cross-disciplinary approach are at the heart of their artistic practice. Their works oscillate between theater, architecture, concert and visual arts. They are characterized by an unpredictable dramaturgy, absurd humour and a non-hierarchical interplay of performers, objects, light and sound. The production processes are always peppered with a variety of perspectives: Stories from different cultures alternate with pop-cultural set pieces and scenarios from science fiction, preceded by analytical-academic research processes. The process itself always extends beyond a theatrical framing in order to find its way back onto the stage. The group regularly presents its work at Sophiensæle, HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, Kampnagel Hamburg, FFT Düsseldorf and Gessnerallee Zurich. They are also invited to festivals such as Impulse (NRW), Spielart (Munich), steirischer herbst (Graz) and donaufestival (Krems).
