Bashevis's Demons comprises three short stories by legendary Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer and will be presented direct from engagements in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

The tales featured in Bashevis's Demons serve up demons, saints, sinners, hope, despair and at least two chickens, all in Isaac Bashevis Singer’s original Yiddish with full English supertitles. In The Mirror, a young woman—ignored by her husband, the traveling salesman—steps through a mirror into the world of demons, where she can be the center of attention. In The Last Demon, a Jewish devil fails to bring down a shtetl rabbi. Exiled to the small town as Satan’s punishment, he witnesses the destruction of the Jewish community, including his nemesis the rabbi, by forces far crueler than his own and remains stuck there for eternity with nothing but the Yiddish word to console him. Lastly, in Kukeriku (yes, that’s how a cock crows in Yiddish!), we hear a rooster’s tale of hope on the eve of a great slaughter.
