REPUBLIC OF DREAMS
--- Inspired by the writing, artwork and life of Bruno Schulz ---
A new piece by Double Edge Theatre

The Annex at La MaMa E.T.C.
74 A EAST 4TH STREET

Mar 8 - 18, 2007
Thursday - Saturday at 7:30pm
Sun at 2:30pm & 7:30pm

La MaMa E.T.C is located at 74A East 4th St. between 2nd Avenue and The Bowery

TICKETS :$20 Box Office (212) 475-7710
Student & senior tickets are $15 www.lamama.org

"Republic of Dreams", takes the magic realism writings and imaginings of WWII-era Polish-Jewish artist Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), adapting his lush, magical and sometimes erotic drawings to the stage. Using the theatre's signature style of physicality, imagery, puppetry, live instrumental and choral music, Double Edge deeply explores Schulz' powerful prose and life, as well as his banal death at the hands of a jealous Nazi, to create an unforgettable journey through the human experience in the modern world. "Republic of Dreams" is conceived and directed by Stacy Klien.

Double Edge Theatre, based in Ashfield, MA, is a creator of dynamic and visually stunning theater pieces. It has a unique approach, by establishing a home "The Farm" where the artist can practice, receive training, research and conduct cultural exchanges with other artists. Double Edge Theatre is widely renowned for long-term collaborations, classic literature adaptations, and original theater performances.

If you would like to arrange a group of students to see this production, please contact Kiku Sakai at 212-254-6468. This is a great opportunity for students of various majors such as Art, Theatre, Slavic and Jewish Studies and Literature to explore the culture and history of the early 20th Century in Poland. Double Edge Theatre would be happy to give your students a post-performance discussion on the production. Our student rate is $15. Please share this information with your colleague.

"The Media and the Messenger: Transforming the Cantor's Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction"

Dr. Jeffrey Shandler, Rutgers University
Respondents: Dr. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, New York University,
and Dr. Mark Slobin, Wesleyan University
Co-sponsor: Working Group on Jews/Media/Religion at the Center for Religion and Media, New York University

Location: The Center for Jewish History
15 W. 16th St. New York, NY
This event is free and open to the public

Jeffrey Shandler will discuss American cantors' interactions with new media of the past century and how it has transformed their art and their stature as performers. Their engagement with sound recordings, sheet music, motion pictures, and radio and television broadcasting created new possibilities for cantors that tested the limits of their traditional role as shliah tsibur (communal messenger).
