Shtetl dance show

Grant for the Konin Dance Theatre for the organization of a performance.

The Konin Dance Theatre’s show Shtetl / שטעטל tells the story of the Konin Jewish community based on Theo Richmond’s book Konin: A Quest. The interpretation of the work, presented through movement, words and gesture, is a journey in search of people who are no longer with us. The purpose of the production is to celebrate the prewar life of the local Jewish community and to make Konin residents aware of what a significant role Konin’s Jews played in the development of the city’s economy and infrastructure.
