Kommuna Lux


Co-Presented with Caravan World Rhythms

Chutzpah partners again with Caravan World Rhythms to present a festive evening of world music, bringing Ukrainian klezmer sensations Kommuna Lux to Chutzpah! to kick off the opening weekend, with a rousing, danceable concert event.

This award-winning music collective performs in their own unique style, which they call “Odesa Urban Folk," thrilling klezmer music and common gangster folk songs from their hometown. This multicultural port city of Odesa is world-famous for its significant Jewish culture and for being the birthplace of the Urban Chanson genre with streets that are rich with nostalgia and a bohemian Black Sea coastal vibe. These are set to a timeless new level by the vibrant performances of lead singer Bagrat Tsurkan and his band of virtuoso musicians. Kommuna Lux plays joyful songs and melodies from Odesa and all Eastern Europe in spiced up arrangements.

Note: The Pearl is a club setting with limited seating. Please contact the Box Office for any accessibility needs. The venue is a 19+ setting. For all-ages music events, we recommend Yamma Ensemble and Mark Rubin.

    Gimpel the Fool Returns to Poland

    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.

    The Last Night at the Cabaret Yitesh

    Chutzpah! is proud to present The Last Night at the Cabaret Yitesh (di letste nakht baym yitesh), an uproariously edgy show from the New York Times best-selling author and celebrated Canadian Yiddishist, Michael Wex. Set in spring of 1938, the censor’s office has just advised the performers in Warsaw’s Yiddish-language “Cabaret Yitesh” that tonight’s show will be their last. With visas to leave the country and nothing left to lose, the performers decide to present material that the censors had already forbidden, along with the cabaret’s greatest hits and most famous skits. Join Chutzpah! and our all-star international cast, including Shane Baker, Daniel Kahn, Regina Hopfgartner, Patrick Farrell, and Sasha Lurje, for an evening of cabaret songs from the ’30s, original comedy sketches, and Yiddish adaptations of international hits and vaudeville and drag classics. In Yiddish with English supertitles.
