Paper Brigade: A Musical Drama
A powerful musical drama telling the extraordinary story of the members of the "Paper Brigade," who risked their lives to save the spiritual treasures of the Jewish people from within the Vilna Ghetto, under the watchful eyes of the Nazis. Abraham Sutzkever, Shmerke Kaczerginski, and a group of creators and fighters known as the "Paper Brigade" risked their lives day after day to smuggle, rescue, and hide rare Jewish cultural treasures—manuscripts, works of art, books, and songs—before they disappeared from the world.
This intense musical production, led by Ohad Chitman, is an emotional musical featuring songs written in Vilna that have remained forever in the Jewish memory soundtrack: Shtiler, Shtiler, Unter Dayn Vays Starn, and Ofn Veg Steyt A Boim. It is a human drama about courage, creativity, and faith in the power of words to bring hope. When a great light ignites from the page.
