| Call for performers: the 6th edition of the Festival of Jewish Culture „Singer’s Warsaw”, 2009 The Shalom Foundation (Poland) is searching for Jewish theatres from the whole world to invite some of them to the 6th edition of the festival. Festival’s dates are: 29 August - 6 September, 2009. The Shalom Foundation organizes the Festival of Jewish Culture in September annually, since 2004. The festival preserves the memory of prewar Jewish world, which these days is known mainly from Isaac Bashevis Singer’s stories and novels. Warsaw was not chosen accidentally - the Nobel prizewinner was born near here and grew up in Warsaw, and this city had a special place in his heart throughout his entire life. Each year, superb representatives of Jewish culture from all over the world come to the Polish capital. The past reality is revived by many exhibitions and plays, artists’ installations, scientific sessions, and meetings with writers and Jewish artists. Yiddish culture returns through prewar films, song and dance workshops, paper cutting, ceramics as well as Hebrew calligraphy, lectures and discussion groups. It has become a tradition that, each year, the Jewish Theatre in Warsaw prepares a premiere based on Singer’s works. Theatres from other countries show various plays and monodramas within Jewish subject area. Some of the performances are in the Yiddish, some of them in the English and German language. The Shalom Foundation has a possibility to translate them all simultaneously, which is a subject to a previous agreement. Any Jewish theatre, which would like to take a part in the 6th edition of the festival is asked to send their offers of spectacles to the Shalom Foundation in Poland. Please, do provide us also with basic information on your theatre: short history, repertoire, staff. The deadline for the issue: February 20th 2009 Please address your offers to: Izabela Teodorkiewicz PR Director Email: shalom@shalom.org.pl, or festiwalsingera@shalom.org.pl For more information on this, please go to: www.singersfestival.pl To find out more about the Shalom Foundation, please visit our web site: www.shalom.org.pl
