From "Pomul Verde" to the Yiddish Broadway A Romanian-American Theatrical Journey in Honor of Moshe Yassur
Thursday, May 04, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EDT
Romanian Cultural Institute
200 E 38th St, New York, NY 10016, USA
RSVP

About The Event: One of the more subtle, yet powerful cultural links between Romania and the United States is the Yiddish theater, a dramatic tradition born in Eastern Europe that flourished in Lower East Side at the beginning of the 20th century thanks in no small part to some influential Jewish-Romanian actors, directors, and producers. We revisit this fertile tradition and honor its last great embodiment, Romanian-American thespian and Holocaust-survivor Moshe Yassur, the last member alive of the famous "Pomul Verde" Yiddish theater company in Iași (northern Romania), with a dramatic potpourri that brings back the lost glory of Romanian-Jewish stage.

Alongside Moshe Yassur, the performance will feature a group of New York City Yiddish theater artists – collectively known as Royter Kuter Teater – made of actor Allen Lewis Rickman, actor-singer Yelena Shmulenson, actor and translator Shane Baker, and singer, song-writer and researcher Miryem-Khaye Seigel, who will present a medley of scenes, memoirs, anecdotes, songs and musical interludes representative of the various stages of the Yiddish theater’s transatlantic journey.
