The Lights of the Ghetto
A production by Andrei Munteanu
From the most hidden corners of Europe to the great capitals of the old continent, the hideous grin of fascism follows us. Children and old people, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters - all of us alike are caught in the ghetto searchlight. The production is a journey shaped by the extraordinary music written by survivors of the Holocaust in those hardest of times, and by texts that reflect the greatest crime of the twentieth century.
