Music and Memorialisation: Performing Holocaust Testimony
Visiting Professor Dr. David Fligg (Project Consultant for the Performing the Jewish Archive Project, University of Leeds), discusses how his project's five international festivals utilise recent research of Holocaust archives to reanimate music and theatre once thought lost or destroyed. In particular,David demonstrates how he has used previously unpublished testimony to create a unique theatrical presentation portraying the life and music of Gideon Klein (1919-1945). This was premiered last May in the USA on Yom Ha'Shoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), and has since been performed in the UK and Czech Republic.
