Ester
A Purimplay in Berlin
ESTER is a Purim play narrated by György Konrád and acted by Jewish emigrants of Middle- and Southern-East-Europe. It's a story of "those days when jews have been granted asylum and about the month, when pain became happiness and grief turned into a day of celebration".
A parable about the courage to arrive in a foreign country and a funny
masquerade about blessing in disguise.
