Yiddish theatre in Romania all but disappeared during World War II, until the establishment in 1948 of The State Jewish Theatre of Romania.
Since its founding, the theatre has premiered 200 new works, toured to numerous cities and festivals around the world to much acclaim, and developed a distinguished profile and unique position in Yiddish language arts worldwide.
Wandering Stars, based on a story by Sholem Aleichem is a warm and tender humorous look at the artist’s condition, so close to the human condition generally speaking. First comes the youth with its enthusiasm and errors. And then….the regrets.
