Balancing Acts: A Jewish Theater in Soviet Union

This documentary captures a fleeting, exhilarating moment when innovative performers and artists created avant-garde Jewish theater with unprecedented mass appeal, in the early days of the Soviet Union—before being destroyed by Stalin. Narrated by Ed Asner, Balancing Acts is directed by Sam Ball, and co-produced by William Susman and Kate Stilley in association with the Jewish Museum of New York exhibition Chagall and the Artists of Russian-Jewish Theatre: 1919-1949.
