on a serious note…

Growing up as a queer person in Jerusalem, a religious city, was a difficult time in my life. I experienced personally and witnessed my LGBTQ family face discrimination, violence, and pain regularly. These memories that reverberate through my body, play a big part in my evolution as an activist. Navigating these times and understanding my otherness have formed who I am today. They made me into the artist, actor, creator, and community member that I am. It built up my resilience, fearlessness, and perseverance. It taught me not to apologize for any part of my identity, and fight for justice and the rights of all who are marginalized, regardless of the social price for doing so.

That is who HASADICK really is! He isn’t a joke or a mockery. He is the celebration of everything that I am. He is my history as a Jew, a Jerusalem-born resident, and a lesbian at the same time. He plays between the lines of gender as resistance to personal and cultural binary. He encompasses the pain I experienced and shares it through laughter and joy. He embodies satire when we take ourselves too seriously. His purpose is to remind us that we can be everything that we want to be. We can find the intersectionality of our different parts and love them without replacing one with the other. We are allowed to change our minds, to listen to ourselves, to be one thing one day, and something else the next. And most importantly… Hasadick will always remind us that there is nothing wrong with who we are. Our identity belongs solely to ourselves, and no one outside of our bodies has the right to define it, change it, or tell us how to express it and celebrate it. #Hasadick #unapologetic #beyourself
