TALES OF THE ALCHEMYSTS THEATRE

Our Current Production

Surviving Survival:  Two Short Stories by Chava Rosenfarb

Now Booking for our Fall, 2025 Tour

A little red cap materializes into a child playing in the snow; smoke from memorial candles twists in the air revealing images of lost souls; scraps of detritus magically transform to enchanting toys. In these surreal tales, the ghosts of the past ebb and flow through the lives of Holocaust survivors as they struggle to adjust to life after devastating trauma. The short stories by renowned Polish Yiddish writer Chava Rosenfarb, herself a survivor of the Lodz ghetto, have been newly translated into English by her daughter, Goldie Morgentaler. Evocative and unsettling, they explore the intricacies of memory, guilt, and the delicate balancing act of moving through pain to achieve stability. This production, by the Tales of the Alchemysts Theatre, weaves music, song and movement into a haunting staged reading.
