Let The Telling transport you to 1492 Seville on the last night before the expulsion of the Jews. As a Jewish woman spins, she tunes into the voices of Jewish, Christian and Muslim women across the centuries and the Spanish peninsula.
Women’s stories of integration, love, heritage and intolerance play out to a soundtrack of plaintive Sephardic songs and lively medieval Cantigas.
