Anam Chaya at JetLAG Festival
JetLAG-2025: ANAM CHAYA (Rowan Katz & Friends)
Anam Chaya is a multidisciplinary performance weaving together diasporic folk music, ritual, and storytelling. Rooted in somatic practice and cultural reclamation, it invites participants—especially those navigating displacement, loss, and longing—into communal remembrance.
Audiences are immersed in a global tapestry of music that evokes the ancestral ache for belonging.
A ritual of mourning and joy, where grief gives way to celebration. It’s led by Rowan Katz — vocalist, poet, folklorist, physical theater artist, and somatic voice educator — whose work explores gender, trauma, queerness, Jewish diaspora, grief, and mysticism.

Jewish American Heritage Month: Presenting Anam Chaya at Alameda Free Library
