Wealth, virtue, and destiny collide in Anski’s famous portrayal of haunted love. Intimate and heartbreaking, The Dybbuk is both a cautionary tale and a passionate love story.
An all-female cast presents the world of the play, challenging established hierarchies and revealing an ongoing re-imagination of individual and community mythologies. This production follows the original English translation by Henry G. Alsberg and Winifred Katzin, adding back in some of the Yiddish text. Five performers play over thirty roles in a kaleidoscope of sound, movement, and light.
We premiered this production from May 22 – 25, 2011 at La Sala Rossa (Montreal, Quebec). We were particularly excited to open at La Sala Rossa, one of Montreal’s most popular music venues. With its deep roots in the history of Jewish Montreal, La Sala Rossa is the perfect location for a piece of theatre so rooted in Jewish culture.
We are planning a tour for next year that will include Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, New York, and Boston. If you are interested in having The Dybbuk visit your locale, please contact Avia for more information.
