The CJC's production of BASHEVIS’S DEMONS: 3 Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer will be presented for two performances only by the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in association with the California Institute for Yiddish Culture and Language.
The tales featured in BASHEVIS’S DEMONS serve up demons, saints, sinners, hope, despair, and at least two chickens, all in Isaac Bashevis Singer’s original Yiddish with full English supertitles. In The Mirror, a young woman – ignored by her husband the traveling salesman – steps through a mirror into the world of demons, where she can be the center of attention. In The Last Demon, a Jewish devil fails to bring down a shtetl rabbi. Exiled to the small town as Satan’s punishment, he witnesses the destruction of the Jewish community, including his nemesis the rabbi, by forces far crueler than his own and remains stuck there for eternity with nothing but the Yiddish word to console him.
Starring Shane Baker and Miryem-Khaye Seigel, BASHEVIS’S DEMONS is directed by Moshe Yassur with Beate Hein Bennett.
