DURKH A MODNEM GLOZ / THROUGH A STRANGE LENS

The brainchild of world-renowned composer Josh Abrahams (Addicted To Bass, Moulin Rouge) and writer/performer Galit Klas (The Ghetto Cabaret), Durkh a Modnem Gloz sets an electronic score to lyrics based on Yiddish poetry written by women over the past 100 years.

Think Laurie Anderson, Marlene Dietrich and Kraftwerk, all in Yiddish. With dreamy, cinematic, robotic techno and Eurodance style tunes, this electro-opera tells the story of one woman’s experience of love and sex. When love fails her, she draws on the experiences of other troubled women throughout history to find her strength. Directed by Green Room Award-winner Gary Abrahams (33 Variations), the show is in Yiddish, with English surtitles.
