WELCOME TO YIDDISHLAND is an introduction to the Art and practices of a group made up of diverse, international, innovative and radical artists who are creating new works around today’s most important issues in the endangered Yiddish language . Why do they create in Yiddish? What does it mean for them personally or professionally? And what obstacles do they need to overcome so as to revitalize this richly expressive language?
Our movie shows that at the end these Artists come together from all over the world during a joyful vibrant international festival where they share their works, their skills with each other as well as with next generations thus leading into a blossoming period of yiddish cultural renaissance.
Being that the film is about a “cultural movement”, it needs subjects from different backgrounds and countries to truly investigate this. Therefore, there will be many characters from various places represented by actors with ensemble casts playing multiple roles. The connection between them being performers; every single one of these people belongs on stage because that’s home for them where they speak Yiddish.
They are citizens metaphorically speaking; collectively they stand as citizens living together internationally within their own society called YIDDISHLAND. In terms of structure there are few layers: firstly we have trans global conversation taking place between our subjects around issues arising from yiddish typical jewish conversations involve strong opinions often heated argument sometime ; secondly deeper level which gives more emotional visual/ kinaesthetic experience .
