T435175661Performed in Polish with English supertitles. The suffering soul of a holocaust victim takes over the body of his American half-brother. A woman is possessed by the spirit of her lover, and must choose between continuing this supernatural union and taking a living but unloved husband. In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a restless dead soul which inhabits a living person. This intense and gothic production blends two existing tales of such spirits - a landmark Yiddish play and a short story. In each case, the possessed must decide whether to keep or abandon the past - embrace or exorcise their dybbuk. Through the interweaving of the two stories, director and adaptor Krzysztof Warlikowski raises questions about Poland's relationship with its Jewish population in the 20th century - to embrace or to exorcise. Supported by The Binks Trust, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland and the Mayor and City of Wroclaw. Run time 2 hours 20 minutesAdapted by Krzysztof Warlikowski.
