I was looking for an aleph bet song video to show my child and came upon this video. What was she thinking?

I've seen this before, but it just keeps getting weirder every time I watch it.

Kinda like a cross between The Shining, and Children of the Corn. shock

I saw her live. It's art, she isn't actually teaching children the aleph-bet, she performs for grownups. Her work is also based on Sefer Hayetzira so depending on how sacrilegious you find that it might not be for you.

Find the Hoshanot in a siddur- I recognized Adon Hamoshia. (And as a reasonably fluent Hebrew-speaker, I still found it hard to make out most of the words in what she was chanting. Still cool that there's Jewish indie music.)

I have no cultural context or Hebrew knowledge, but I think that was the coolest-slash-oddest thing I've been exposed to in, like, YEARS. (At least since the last NIN video I saw, but this is cooler.) Makes me want to look more into her music and the Sefer Hayetzira which was mentioned. What is that anyway?
