Dear Safranim, You are cordially invited:
Fordham-New York Public Library Jewish Studies Lecture Series: "A history of the Jewish Theater in Buenos Aires: from the star system to the Idisher Folks Teater (1930-1960)" Paula Ansaldo, University of Buenos Aires Thursday, October 3, 2019, 6 p.m. Fordham University-Lincoln Center, 155 West 60th Street, McMahon 109 During the first decades of the twentieth century, a large population of Yiddish-speaking Jews settled in Buenos Aires escaping from European hard living conditions and anti-Semitism. As a result, a rich Yiddish cultural life began to grow and Buenos Aires became one of the main centers of Yiddish theater between 1930 and 1960. In this talk, Paula Ansaldo will explore the development of the Jewish Theater in Argentina, giving special attention to the history of the Idisher Folks Teater (IFT): the first Jewish theater company formed by local actors and actresses that performed in Buenos Aires on a regular basis. All Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free and open to the public. The Fordham-NYPL Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies is made possible by the Eugene Shvidler Gift Fund at Fordham University and additional gift funds to Jewish Studies at Fordham University. This joint fellowship program is for scholars in all fields of Jewish Studies from outside the New York City metropolitan area and provides support for their on-site research, especially the Dorot Jewish Division. Fellows will receive an affiliation with Fordham University for the duration of their fellowship, and deliver one public presentation and one faculty seminar. Questions?
