Tsirk Dobranotch: Ein Klezmer-Zirkus

As part of the Days of Exile, the Jewish Community of Frankfurt, the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, the ROMANFABRIK, the German Exile Archive 1933–1945 of the German National Library, and Gegen Vergessen – für Demokratie e.V. are bringing the internationally renowned Klezmer circus ensemble Tsirk Dobranotch to Frankfurt.

“Tshemodan” (Yiddish for “suitcase”) combines contemporary circus, Yiddish theater, and live klezmer music into a sensory experience. With acrobatic performances, Yiddish humor, and virtuoso music, the piece tells a story of wandering, exile, and cultural self-assertion—a moving tale of migration and identity brought to life through a poetic visual language of music, movement, and theater. A theatrical experience for all generations that brings the culture of remembrance to life and raises current questions about home and belonging.

A collaboration between: Days of Exile, the Jewish Community, the Jewish Museum, the German Exile Archive 1933–1945 of the German National Library, ROMANFABRIK, and Gegen Vergessen – für Demokratie e.V. With the kind support of: Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain, Speyer’sche Hochschulstiftung Frankfurt, the City of Frankfurt’s Office of Cultural Affairs, the Holger Koppe Foundation, the Körber Foundation, and Hotel Villa Florentina.
