Created in collaboration with UK based director Leo Kay and musician Yako 440, The Spinning Wheel remixes and reinterprets the 50-year legacy of Israel's late father, steve ben israel (1938-2012), a political activist and member of The Living Theatre, an iconic, avant-garde theater group. Through spoken word, video, and live music, Baba Israel not only animates the radical, countercultural impulses of New York City during the 1960s and '70s, but also, lovingly pays tribute to his father.
