SYNOPSIS
Enter
the funny, larger-than-life world of Yiddish Theater today through this
documentary film about the amazing woman who has kept the oldest running
Yiddish Theater in America
alive. Zypora Spaisman is a Holocaust survivor who conquers all hearts in
her passion for art, life and Yiddish.
This
heartwarming story of one unique woman's struggle portrays the fight of both an
old art form to stay relevant and an old actress to find meaning and a
stage in a society that worships youth.
Shot in real
time in one of the coldest winters in NEW
YORK, Zypora's theater has one week to raise
funding to keep their show going. Many miracles occur during this week. But
will they be enough to save this critically acclaimed Yiddish show?
A must see
film for anyone who loves theater!
The film has
rare interviews with some of the key players in the Yiddish Theater world
today. Among them Yiddish legends like Shifra Lerer, Felix Fibich, Seymour
Rechzeit and many more. Also in the film are expert Zalmen Mlotek who heads the
Folksbiene now and Scholars Dovid Katz and Nahma Sandrow. | |||
