Radical Puppetry: The Modicut Project Thursday, December 11at 7:00pm \YIVO Institute for Jewish Research 15 W 16th St, New York, New York 10011 Tix: yivo.org/events/index.php?tid=202&aid=1323 Downtown puppet theater company Great Small Works and scholar Edward Portnoy (Rutgers University) team up to present the Modicut Project--a radical reinterpretation of Modicut, the first Yiddish language puppet theater in the U.S. (1925-1933). Drawing on the modernist artistic movements of its day, Modicut created biting satire about traditional Jewish figures and contemporary politicians. Join us for an evening of puppetry performance of original Modicut scripts, music, and presentations about Modicut and the political atmosphere that infused their work. The original Modicut puppets and scripts, now housed in the YIVO Archives, will be on display. Sponsored by YIVO, NYSCA, Scherman Foundation, and Puffin Foundation.
