A journey into a time of astounding innovation on the stageShortly after the Bolshevik Revolution, Soviet Jewish theaters became catalysts for modernist experimentation. Working with avantgarde playwrights, actors, and producers in a new political environment, artists such as Marc Chagall, Natan Altman, Robert Falk, and Aleksandr Tyshler combined Russian folk art with elements of CuboFuturism and Constructivism into a bold new style. This collaboration gave rise to extraordinary productions with highly original stage designs that redefined the concept of theater itself.From the Jewish mythical and folkloric plays produced at Habima to the daring, expressionistic Yiddish dramas presented at the Moscow State Yiddish Theater (GOSET), this beautifully illustrated book chronicles the flourishing of Soviet Jewish theater in the 1920s and 1930s. Spanning such topics as Jewish culture and history in the Soviet Union, the volume includes stunning reproductions of Chagalls celebrated theater murals; fascinating archival materials such as posters, prints, and playbills; designs for costumes and sets; and many other breathtaking works.Published in association with The Jewish Museum, New YorkExhibition Schedule:The Jewish Museum, New York (November 9, 2008 March 22, 2009)Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco (April 25 September 7, 2009)
