One of the highlights of Yiddish Summer Weimar 2026! “Togbukh” (“Diary”) is a new one-person show about Polish Jewish actress Rose Shoshana Kahan’s life as a refugee in Japan and Shanghai during WWII.
Based on her own diaries, togbukh features original music by Alan Bern, a libretto by Diana Matut, dreamlike digital visuals by Mirella Frenzel, Maximilian Stilke and Vanessa Könemund, and a tour-de-force performance by soprano Leila Schütz, under the direction of Maximilian Löwenstein.
