Théâtre Maisonneuve

Yiddish culture is undeniably part of Montreal’s DNA, the city being the adopted home of thousands of Jews, beginning in the late 19th century. Its literature and poetry relate a Montreal that is variously working class, community-based, inclusive, and modern, guarded by the immovable Mount Royal. Readings of texts in French and in Yiddish by authors including Jacob-Isaac Segal, Miriam Waddington, Israel Medrech and Abraham Shulman will be accompanied by klezmer, a style that is alternately wistful and boisterous, though always captivating.

In collaboration with the Segal Centre for Performing Arts as well as the author and Yiddish literature specialist Chantal Ringuet.

The texts of this concert will be read in French and in Yiddish.
