“Visual poetry. Poetic, bathetic, punning, and perverse… a rough jumble of wonderment.” —New York Times
In these two original theater pieces based on World War II and the Holocaust, Double Edge Theatre performs their visionary brand of dramatic expression. The Disappearance honors Holocaust survivor Maarten Soetendrop, a Belgian actor in post-war Europe whose psychological unravelling and mysterious kidnapping awaken his community to lingering post-war anti-Semitism. A haunting work with a stunning set, this show features a play-within-a-play version of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Republic of Dreams, conceived and directed by Artistic Director Stacy Klein, explores the writings, art, and life of Polish-Jewish artist Bruno Schulz, culminating in his senseless death at the hands of a jealous Nazi. It is performed in Double Edge’s signature style, incorporating text, movement, large props, puppets, and surreal changes of scene.
