the glow of souls...

September. The first calendar month of autumn. Although ... Lita is the Jewish month. The final highlight is the theatrical concert "Glow of Souls" (Music by A. Šenderov, poetic texts by A. Suckever). The event that concludes the 2011 choir of spectacles held in the new Vilnius in memory of the victims of the Lithuanian Jewish genocide. It is sad, beautiful, painful, maybe even scary, but it was possible to feel the breath of the old life of Vilnius Jews, and not only that. The "Glow of Souls" sounded in several languages with fragments of poems by Yiddish literary classic Abrom Suckever (1913-2010), singer Rafail Karpis, the Armoni Trio, percussionists Pavel Günteris, Arkadij Gotesman, a klezmer band, readers' voices and colorful sounds. What kind of images arose while participating in the "Glow of Souls"? Question? Why? The answer. In memory of the shamelessly destroyed Jewish world of Lithuania-Lita, lifestyle, culture, crafts, symbols, prayers, domestic life, literature, songs...
