<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:90%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">During his stay as a visiting scholar the week of March 24, 2014 Professor Rokem will be meeting with students and faculty and holding a round-table event for graduate
students. Professor Rokem will also be delivering a public lecture titled "Possessed by Theatre: ‘The Dybbuk’ at Habima, 1922". Habima, the first institutionalized Hebrew theatre founded in Moscow during the 1917 Revolution, staged a repertoire of experimental
works, of which “The Dybbuk” remains the most renowned. The play presents the story of a young bride possessed by a dybbuk and was authored by folklorist Sh. Ansky based on materials he collected during his expeditions among Eastern European Jews on the eve
of World War I. Habima’s Hebrew-language seamlessly performance blended Soviet experimental theatre with Jewish folklore to great critical acclaim. Rokem will discuss the inaugural performance that forever changed the history of Jewish theatre.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
