>For the past two years, the Knitting Factory has produced a ground-breaking
>interactive seder on the 3rd night of Passover. As you know, the story of
>escaping from slavery and moving towards freedom transcends Jewish thought
>and has strong metaphors for the world.  We expand the traditional seder
>table to include participants from across the globe via the netcast, and
>encourage all
>to ask questions of the leader - to feel as if they themselves were part of
>the meal.
>
>The meal and haggadah are broken into their traditional parts and performed
>by musicians, poets and dancers.  Performers for this year's seder include:
>Lou
>Reed, Laurie Anderson, Rabbi Goor, Judith Sloan, Tuli Kupferberg, Congressman
>Jerrold Nadler, Sandra Bernhard & Hal Willner, Neta Pulvermacher, John Zorn,
>Roy Nathanson, Anthony Coleman, David Krakauer and many more yet to be
>confirmed.
