Gimpel the Fool Returns to Poland


Co-Presented with the Vancouver Jewish Film Festival

A treasure from the Yiddish literature, Nobel prize laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer's frankness and courage to grapple with good and evil make his very specific world of pre-Holocaust Europe to be both accessible and universal. Israel's award-winning theatre company, Nephesh Theatre, has been performing their stage adaptation of Singer’s Gimpel the Fool, with a rich soundtrack of voices and klezmer music in a surrealistic theatrical presentation around the world for 18 years. The film, by Nephesh Artistic Director Howard Rypp, co-presented by Chutzpah! with the Vancouver Jewish Film Festival, follows the show’s journey throughout different towns of Poland, while tracing Singer’s escape from the Holocaust, finally finding refuge in the USA. Following the screening, Howard Rypp and his co-writer Howard Wiseman will discuss the film and take questions from the audience.
