Шутки в сторону - Игаль Котляр
2021-12-08 21:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | MA
Дорогие друзья, ждем вас в эфир передачи “Шутки в Сторону” в эту среду, 8-го декабря, в 9 вечера по этой ссылке: https://youtu.be/plaGjbQt_fA
Гость программы – доктор Игаль Котлер – специалист по русско-еврейской истории, культуре и диаспоре. Директор образовательных программ COJECO (Council of Jewish Émigré Community Organizations).
«Два мира – два Шапиро». Уже несколько тысяч лет евреи спорят о том, кого же считать евреем. Мы поговорим с доктором Котлером о животрепещущей теме – как русскоязычные евреи-иммигранты и американские евреи отвечают на этот вопрос. Поговорим об истории взаимоотношений этих двух общин, о ситуации на сегодняшний день и прогнозах на будущее. Постараемся шутить по ходу дела, как полагается одесситу и москвичу. Ударим просвещением по самоидентификации и антисемитизму!

WITNESS, the latest project from Arlekin’s Zero Gravity (zero-G) Virtual Theater Lab, is a new documentary theater piece about Jewish immigration in the face of antisemitism. WITNESS brings actors and audience together from around the world for a shared immersive experience set on a boat in digital space. The piece is inspired by the journey of the MS St. Louis, which left Hamburg in 1939 with over 900 Jewish people on board and headed to Cuba only to be turned away, leaving the passengers stranded with nowhere to go and no escape. WITNESS shares stories of Jewish immigrants from around the globe through an interactive virtual theater experience at the nexus of film, theater and video games.
