A new piece by Double Edge Theatre

Mar 8 - 18, 2007

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

"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.

Une formidable énergie pour distiller les flonflons en fanfare des musiques klezmer, héritées des anciens ghettos juifs d'Europe centrale. Une craquante voix éraillée pour chanter des complaintes empruntées au répertoire des Tziganes des Balkans. Et surtout … la verve ironique et pas du tout robotique d'un étonnant rap en yiddish ... Septet pour cuivres, accordéon, basse et percussions, l'Amsterdam Klezmer Band est mené depuis sa création, en 1996, par le saxophoniste et vocaliste Job Chajes. Le groupe a fait ses premiers pas dans les parcs et les pubs hollandais. D'où la pêche exaltée qui habite ses musiques, compositions originales ou grands classiques empruntés au répertoire traditionnel…. (Eliane Azoulay)

Amsterdam Klezmer Band Remixed! Dix ans et neuf albums plus tard, le groupe mélange aux rythmes accoustiques de ses débuts, des textures Balkaniques, de la musique Turques et Gypsy, des rythmes Darbuka, du Dub, le tout remixé par les stars de la place, et jugez plutôt : Shantel (Bucovina Club), DJ Yuri Gurzhy (Russendisko), Stefan Schmid (Zuco 103), Cmon & Kypski, Peter Millenaar et Marcel Vos. A ne surtout pas manquer.
