Additional information

Shterna and the Lost Voice follows a young woman's quest from the realms of the dead to the celestial gardens of the immortal – all to restore her friend's lost voice. Shterna's epic adventure is accompanied by live original klezmer music while the narrative unfolds through a papercut crankie. This dynamic performance is geared towards audiences of all ages!

Shterna and the Lost Voice is presented by The Magid Ensemble (magid, meaning "storyteller" in Yiddish) – a new collaboration featuring award-winning klezmer musicians and composers Mattias KaufmannRaffi Boden, and Rachel Leader, Yiddishist storyteller A. C. Weaver, and visual artist Kiah Raymond.
