Synopsis: | The Dybbuk, a seminal play in the history of Jewish theatre. It played an important role in the development of Yiddish theatre and theatre in Israel. The play was based on years of research by S. Ansky, who travelled between Jewish shtetls in Russia and the Ukraine, documenting folk beliefs and stories of the Hassidic Jews. A young bride, possessed by obsession, shocks her village by inviting the dybbuk, a malicious possessing spirit which was believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person, to dance with her on the eve of her arranged marriage. | |||||
