Another Yiddish world premiere from New Yiddish Rep. Streams Thursday, May 20 at 7 PM Tickets $18 https://bit.ly/3w0dH5x ENGLISH SUBTITLES "Out At Sea" is a macabre, uncanny reflection of the America we have become all too familiar with. filmed live at Theater For The New City Director Of Photography Tanya Stolpovskaya with Malky Goldman Riki Rose Melissa Weisz Hanni Krauss... When Polish playwright Slawomir Mrozek passed in 2013 the New York Times wrote in his obituary: "Some American reviewers criticized Mr. Mrozek’s plays as windy polemic. But others argued that Westerners simply lacked the education in totalitarianism that revealed his preposterous situations as merely slightly exaggerated versions of everyday realities." In 2021, after experiencing the climb to power of a would be autocrat and his continued influence on American society; after enduring the proliferation of aberrant conspiracy theories rife with anti-semitic memes, and an insurrection that shook to it's foundations the notion of America as an unassailable bastion of democracy, perhaps our "education" has taught some of us to appreciate what Ionesco said about absurdism - "my plays aren't absurd, life is absurd."

THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY in association with NEW YIDDISH REP presents THE DYBBUK... By S. An-sk (Shloyme Zaynvl Rapoport) writer, ethnographer, and revolutionary Adapted by David Mandelbaum Directed by Jesse Freedman with Darrel Blackburn. Amy Coleman, Hannah Gee, Lev Harvey, Lucie Laloucne, David Mandelbaum, Thomas Morris Pay What you can $5 to $36 for tickets: https://www.stellartickets.com//theater-for-the/the-dybbuk We all miss live theater; the spontaneity and energy of a performance that is in the moment. An intrepid group of artists is soldiering on through this pandemic minefield to honor the 100th anniversary of this iconic play with the battle cry of their calling: "the show must go on." This will be a spiritual fusion of live performance and digital artistry. The "possession" of live theater by the spirits of techno-wizardry. We're excited about it. Hop on board and come along for the ride. The Dybbuk is arguably the most well-known play in theYiddish theater lexicon. It was premiered on December 9,1920 by the Vilna Trupe at the Elizeum theater in Warsaw. It’s success catapulted that company onto the International stage. It has since been translated into 27 languages and performed worldwide. A play about possession seems particularly suited to the times. The country has been possessed by the evil spirits of strife and division and could use a good exorcism to bring it back to its senses. Apropos, the play is at it's core a love story exploring the metaphysical aspect of love; the fusion of two souls, kept apart in our world of illusion, they choose to ascend as one to the true world. The play will be performed in English with a liberal peppering of Yiddish. Subtitles will be provided where appropriate. Theater For The New City, one of the only true community oriented theaters left in New York, has opened it’s doors to a small group of devoted actors and designers to bring you live theater.
