A musical Journey.
Mit D. Zisl Slepovitch, Musiker und Musikwissenschaftler
im Begleitprogramm zur Ausstellung »Jiddisch. Jüdisch. Taitsch.«
In 1912, Shimon An-sky set out for the most remote shtetls in the Pale of Settlement – the territory in the Western part of the Russian Empire, where Jews could reside legally – with an Edison’s phonograph on a mission to preserve rare folk tales and songs.
Almost one hundred years later, D. Zisl Slepovitch and Nina Stepanskaya made their own journey, this time with a video camera, on a mission to preserve the disappearing Jewish songs and untold oral history of Eastern European Jewry in the 20th century. The result of this inspiring research is ‘Traveling the Yiddishland’, an ethnographic cine-concert, created and performed by D. Zisl Slepovitch. It is a musical journey across the routes of the Jewish history in the 20th century Eastern and Central Europe, brought to the modern audiences through the original fieldwork videos, art, and live performance.
Die Veranstaltung findet auf Englisch und Jiddisch statt.
Eine deutsche Übersetzung wird zur Verfügung gestellt.
