Synopsis
A darkly comedic Canadian interpretation of the famous Yiddish folktale that follows a young bridegroom, who, on the way to his bride’s village, accidentally weds a corpse bride. Presented as a movement piece, Theatre PANIK reclaims the tale through Yiddish theatrical tradition using rhetorical gestures and a silent film style mixed with projections displaying text, environment and scenery. Characters are colourful and whimsical, setting the tone of the performance. (yelp.ca)
