  • Itineraries of Jewish Actors During the Firs
    ABSTRACT Reconstructing a Nomadic Network: Itineraries of Jewish Actors during the First Lithuanian Independence !is article discusses the phenomenon of openness and its nomadic nature in the activities of Jewish actors performing in Kaunas during the "rst Lithuanian independence. Jewish theatre between the two world wars had an active and intense life in Kaunas. Two to four independent theatres existed at one time and international stars were often touring in Lithuania. Nevertheless, Lithuanian Jewish theatre life was never regarded by Lithuanian or European theatre society as signi"cant since Jewish theatre never had su#cient ambition and resources to become such. On the one hand, Jewish theatre organized itself in a nomadic way, that is, Jewish actors and directors were constantly on the road, touring from one country to another. On the other hand, there was a tense competition between the local Jewish theatres both for subsidies and for audiences. !is competition did not allow the Jewish community to create a theatre that could represent Jewish culture convincingly. Being a theatre of an ethnic minority, Jewish theatre did not enjoy the same attention from the state that was given to the Lithuanian National !eatre. !e nomadic nature of the Jewish theatre is shown through the perspective of the concept of nomadic as developed by Deleuze and Guattari.

  • Political Influence on Theatre Historiography: Jewish Memory Topics in Lithuania
    NORDIC THEATRE STUDIES Vol. 31, No. 2. 2019, 37–48 Political Influence on Theatre Historiography: Jewish Memory Topics in Lithuania INA PUKELYTĖ ABSTRACT The article discusses the question of the memory of Jewish history and culture in Lithuania in regard to the cultural and political debates that are actually taking place in Lithuanian society. Historical facts, concerning Jewish cultural life in Lithuania before the Second World War, were eliminated from the research field conducted by historiographers during the Soviet and the early post Soviet times. The article argues that this was due to political aspirations of the country; they play the crucial role in defining what type of memories the society would carry on and defend. In regard to the research done by sociologists Maurice Halbwachs, Jan and Aleida Assmanns notions of collective memory, functional and stored memory are discussed. Examples of the recent media persecutions of cultural personas such as Rūta Vanagaitė and Marius Ivaškevičius are discussed in order to illustrate the memory war that is still taking place in the actual Lithuanian society.

  • Hersh Gross and His Boiberiker Kapelye (1927-1932)1
    JEFFREY WOLLOCK Historic Records as Historical Records: Hersh Gross and His Boiberiker Kapelye (1927-1932)1 The Boiberiker Kapelye was a Jewish ensemble – what would today be called a “klezmer” band – active in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although now mainly cited as an early vehicle for the great clarinetist Dave Tarras, the Boiberiker was much more. Tarras plays no major role on the three 1927 Boiberiker discs, but they are classics of klezmer artistry in their own right. Indeed, the Boiberiker, with its huge repertoire, consummate musicali- ty, creativity, and idealistic musical and cultural goals, was one of the best and most interesting klezmer ensembles ever to record. With deep roots in the conservative Hasidic traditions of Galicia and Ukraine, also at home in more modern styles, the Boiberiker was the first “klezmer band” that owed its fame to the new medium of radio. This article gives a detailed account of the ensemble’s recordings, broadcasting career, and personnel, with special emphasis on long-forgotten founder and leader Hersh Gross. It presents evi- dence indicating that the Boiberiker made additional recordings under other names. __________________________________________________________________________________ esearch on the history of klezmer music, at least in the English language, was virtually nonexistent until about 25 years ago, and only in the past decade has it R really taken off. Although it is now possible to get a basic overview of the subject, vast fields remain to be explored. Given the paucity of written documentation and even of oral history, the backbone of this new research effort has been discography and recording history.

By day they work as laborers, storekeepers, housepainters, and wartime smugglers; by night they teach themselves the basics of acting and stagecraft from outdated Russian and German books. The only theatre building where they can afford to perform is a dilapidated former circus on the outskirts of town, repur- posed by the German army as a military stable.

    The Yiddish Theatre District, also called the Jewish Rialto and the Yiddish Realto, was the center of New York City's Yiddish theatre scene in the Because the Yiddish public was passionate about theater, they generally were aware of actors’ early 20th century. It was located primarily on Second Avenue. The District hosted performances in Yiddish of Jewish, Shakespearean, classic, and private lives, including romances, which were matters of comment in theater columns and original plays, comedies, operettas, and dramas, as well as vaudeville, burlesque, and musical shows critiques in the press. Although respectable families were not pleased if their daughters went on the stage, actors committed to intellectual or political ideals were highly respected by the Modern Yiddish theater began with the work of Avrom Goldfadn, who has been canonized as the “father of the Yiddish theater.” Collaborating with intelligentsia, and for the community at large the presence of actors lent dash and style to café the Broder singer Yisroel Grodner (1841–1887), Goldfadn founded the first professional Yiddish theater company in Iaşi (Jassy), Romania, in life. Actors, like other performers, customarily contracted for one night a season to be played 1876. Goldfadn’s companies attracted young meshorerim (singers), badkhonim (jesters), shop attendants, servant girls, and artisans’ apprentices, who for their own benefit. In this practice, not unique to Yiddish theater, the performer picked and traded their small-town lives for those of “wandering stars”(blondzhende shtern), as Sholem Aleichem dubbed them (“vagabond stars” in Nahma cast the play. On these benefit nights, the house might be filled with an actor’s enthusiastic Sandrow’s felicitous translation).

The Habima Theatre’s Paris Tour, Summer of 1926 Marie-Christine Autant-Mathieu Research Director, ARIAS (Sorbonne Nouvelle-CNRS-ENS) In the early 1920s an „abrupt wave‟ of Jewish literature was witnessed in France in connection with the creation of the Jewish national homeland in Palestine and also due to a strong influx of émigrés from Central and Eastern Europe, in particular, numerous writers1. This „wave‟ was favoured by a certain decompartmentalisation of Jewish literature, which stopped cultivating particularism, religious formalism, to model itself on the country‟s mores. „Prophetism aims directly at universalism. [...] Such is the dilemma with which Judaism is struggling: either confining itself in its particularism or sense of identity and losing all universal raison d‟être, or universalising itself by becoming less Jewish‟2.
