A little over a hundred years ago, the first production of
An-sky’s The Dybbuk opened in Warsaw. In the century that
followed, The Dybbuk became a theatrical conduit for a wide range
of discourses about Jews, belonging, and modernity. This timeless
Yiddish play about spiritual possession beyond the grave would go
on to exert a remarkable and unforgettable impact on modern
theater, film, literature, music, and culture. The Dybbuk Century
collects essays from an interdisciplinary group of scholars who
explore the play’s original Yiddish and Hebrew productions and
offer critical reflections on the play’s enduring influence. The
collection will appeal to scholars, students, and theater
practitioners, as well as general readers.
