Performed in Polish with English supertitles. The suffering soul of a holocaust victim takes over the body of his American half-brother. A woman is possessed by the spirit of her lover, and must choose between continuing this supernatural union and taking a living but unloved husband. In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a restless dead soul which inhabits a living person. This intense and gothic production blends two existing tales of such spirits - a landmark Yiddish play and a short story. In each case, the possessed must decide whether to keep or abandon the past - embrace or exorcise their dybbuk. Through the interweaving of the two stories, director and adaptor Krzysztof Warlikowski raises questions about Poland's relationship with its Jewish population in the 20th century - to embrace or to exorcise. Supported by The Binks Trust, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland and the Mayor and City of Wroclaw. Run time 2 hours 20 minutesAdapted by Krzysztof Warlikowski.

A young British Jewish woman is dragged back to a war time Jewish Ghetto. To survive, the inmates perform the story of "The Dybbuk" in which a woman is possessed by the spirit of her dead lover, in much the same way as the woman in [Julia Pascal]'s play is possessed by the spirits of her murdered Jewish family.Adapted by Julia Pascal.
