Shterna and the Lost Voice

Magid Ensemble | USA 

 A one-hour performance featuring a handmade papercut crankie with shadow puppets, accompanied by the telling of an original tale developed through years of research on Yiddish (Eastern-European diasporic Jewish) folklore, and an original live klezmer score. Well-received by an extremely broad range of audiences — from toddlers to elders — some with extensive knowledge of Yiddish culture, and some for whom this is their first exposure to it.
