Teibele and Her Demon
A Song and Fiend-Filled Jewish Tale Based on a Story by: Isaac Bashevis Singer Adapted for the stage by: Roni Sinai Directed by: Shirili DesheAbout the show
Who is the mysterious demon that shows up in Teibele's room twice a week, making her heart flutter?
Is it fear she feels, or is it a devil she knows?
Teibele is a cheerful young woman, a salesclerk in a fabric store, whose husband disappears one day, leaving her a stranded agunah, unable to remarry.
Alchonon, a poor melamed's assistant, knows he stands no chance with her; posing as a demon, though, earns him some wild nights of passionate fantasy.
Will fantasy prevail, or is reality nothing like we thought it would be?
Teibele and Her Demon is considered one of the high points of Isaac Bashevis Singer's oeuvre. It is presented here in a modern, up-to-date version.
The performance lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes (without intermission)
