An artistic excommunication set on Wall Street in 2008, A KADDISH FOR BERNIE MADOFF is a mystical meta-musical about the greatest financial fraud in history, as seen through the eyes of musician/poet Alicia Jo Rabins. A hybrid of memoir and narrative fantasy, this is the story of Madoff and the system that allowed him to function for decades. Rabins watches it all unfold from her ninth-floor studio in an abandoned office building on Wall Street. Unable to leave the story alone, Rabins’ real-life interviews morph into music videos, ancient spiritual texts and fevered synchronized swimming extravaganzas. A vivid, vulnerable work of art is born from the unique perspective of an artist watching the global financial collapse up close.
