From the organizers: What can a play from sixteenth century England tell us about how antisemitism and other prejudicial beliefs operate in our world today? What perceived truths does a play reveal about the society in which it was created, and what ideas within that society does it reinforce? theatre dybbuk explores William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, weaving in their unique blend of deep historical investigation and heightened theatricality to create a new work from the core of the classic play. They’ll investigate questions related to identity, marginalization, assimilation, and power throughout history and in our modern world.
