Dybuk
The premiere was in July 1999, in the White Synagogue, Sejny (the 1st version premiere took place in May 1996).
The script is based on a symbolic play Zwichen Zwei Weltn by Solomon Seinwil Rapoport known by his literary pseudonym - Shloime Ansky. The play's plot is set in the Chassidic milieu in the eastern outskirts of the former Republic of Poland. It is a story of a tragic love that finds its fulfilment after the death.
The places associated with the Jewish culture in Sejny are now filled with another content, but the house of the White Synagogue, a former yeshiva, a destroyed cemetery with scraps of macewas make us remember the vanished world. The Dybbuk, a performance with traditional folk Jewish life music, momentarily brings the silent tradition to the present.
