“The Proposal” and “The Bear”, one-act plays by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, bring us characters that are both tragic and comic at the same time. Playing what they don’t know about themselves, they discover the truth of life through comedy. Tragically funny, unaware of themselves, they draw us into a game full of love, conflict and liberation. They speak little, but reveal a lot – about themselves, about life, about all of us.

Concert “No Gevalt. Shalom”

In times of war, when unity among all citizens of Ukraine is more important than ever, it is vital to highlight the historical and cultural Jewish heritage as part of the shared history of the region. Eastern Galicia, with Lviv as its cultural center, has been a hub of Jewish life and literature in the Austrian Empire and Poland throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The 2025 European Days of Jewish Culture theme, “People of the Book,” provides an opportunity to share this rich heritage with the local population.

The program includes a concert in the historic building of the former Jewish theater, consisting of two parts:

1. Musical performance of “Stempenu” by Shalom-Aleichem featuring star actor Avi Hoffman (USA) accompanied by the Lviv Symphonic Orchestra

2. Klezmer concert with local musicians and guests from Poland, Germany, and Norway, celebrating Jewish musical traditions.

The oldest Jewish musical in the world, "Las Coplas de Yosef Ha-Tsadik", based on the story of Yosef (Josip) and his brothers, directed by Stefan Sablić.
The idea for a re-staging of this work arose from the desire to revive the music of the biblical poem "Las Coplas de Yosef Ha-Tsadik" written in Ladino by Abraham Toledo in the 17th century in Istanbul. This is the oldest known Jewish musical and probably the first ever written.

« En quoi cette nuit?… ", une pièce de théâtre écrite par Renaud et Barbara Tissier pour raconter leur famille, d’origine juive séfarade.

Le spectacle se jouera à partir du 24 septembre 2024 au théâtre de La Reine Blanche à Paris, dans le 18eme.

"En quoi cette nuit…?" c'est l'histoire de cette famille un soir de Pessah où l'on fait valser les souvenirs et la tradition dans un joyeux œcuménisme théâtral. Il est question d’anecdotes familiales, de déracinement, de transmission, de liturgie.

Un soir de Pâque… Nathalie prépare le repas traditionnel. Elle a promis. Promis de célébrer cette fête. A sa mère, comme une tradition. Guillaume est à l’étage, il répète pour son concert. Lui aussi aime les fêtes. Ils ne sont pas croyants.

Special Screening of "The Assembly: A New Musical Film", directed by Hershey Felder, PL/USA 2023, 98 MIN, documentary. The Assembly, a film written and directed by Hershey Felder, shot in Poland, was inspired by the work of Holocaust survivor Eva Libitzky, who lost her entire family in the Holocaust of World War II. Over the last 40 years of her life, Libitzky has made it her mission to tell her harrowing life story in hundreds of school assemblies so that young people in America will never forget what happened in Europe 80 years ago. Libitzky, 97, died in 2021 at her home in Florida, but this new documentary featuring eight former students at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts (SDSCPA) will continue her legacy.

Una experiència immersiva i colpidora que ens convida a prendre consciència de les nostres arrels.
