S. K. Thoth (or often just Thoth) is a New York-based "prayformance" artist known for his eclectic mix of violin, voice, and dance performance who was the subject of the Academy Award winning documentary Thoth. Thoth calls his work "prayformance", emphasizing a spiritual dimension. His motto from his website is "I heal through divine prayformance". He sings in a language he himself created, the language of the Festad, a mythical people and land in his "Solopera", his one-man opera.
Thoth was born Stephen Kaufman in New York City around 1956.[1] His father was a Russian Jew, and his mother was from Barbados. As a mixed race child, prejudice was a problem for the young man. These experiences were a contributing factor in his creation of a fantasy world later in life as a coping mechanism, complete with its own world and mythology.
