Sommario/riassunto

Quali possibilità di "riconoscersi" ha un popolo che ha perduto la propria pa­tria, che è sul punto di perdere la pro­pria lingua e che ovunque si stabilisca, in Europa, è considerato straniero, ves­sato e trattato in modo ostile, oppure, in America, costretto a un traumatico processo di omologazione? La lettera­tura, certo, la narrativa, i romanzi, i rac­conti: ma questo varrà solo per pochi acculturati. Bisognerà, quanto meno, che tale messe di ricordi, memorie, do­cumenti e affabulazioni, trovi il modo di farsi spettacolo, di rappresentarsi sui palcoscenici, offrendosi prima di tutto nella vivezza concreta dell’invenzione teatrale; poi, successivamente, nel cine­ma, nei film.  Questo volume a più voci racconta per la prima volta con cura



l’avventuroso rapporto tra il teatro yiddish e il cine­ma, intendendo con ciò il dialogo tra le due arti e le rispettive prospettive cri­tiche. Il tutto con riferimento ad alcu­ne decine di film che oggi si possono vedere in edizione restaurata.
