Yitzhak Bashevis Singer is among the greatest Yiddish language writers and the winner of the 1978 Noble prize for literature.
His works are woven into the history of the Jewish nation and civilization during the 20’th century. The works of Bashevis Singer were, during those years, a meeting point between
cultures and were able to connect the Jewish people from all over the world. They were also important to Soviet Jews who were kept from the larger Jewish world behind the Iron Curtin.
25 years after it presented the first Hebrew production of Teibele and her Demon, Malenky theater returns to the works of Bashevis Singer and offers a new look at a brand new production.
