Stepping in and out of character while trolling around an elegant Dutch theater augmented by life-sized video projections of a modern production of The Merchant of Venice, actor Cahit Ölmez is decidedly “not just talking about plays and acting.” Addressing us, his audience, Ölmez excavates Tubal, a minor but freighted Shakespearean creation, the only friend of Merchant’s notorious Semitic villain, Shylock. Tubal grants Ölmez fresh access to Shylock, and the scars of the Elizabethan era’s rampant anti-Semitism. And though Shakespeare may never have known a Jew, Shylock’s tragic dimension has given rise to an unsettling ambiguity winding through centuries of theatrical history to this moment: a provocative meta-theatrical venture seeking nothing less than the chance to set Shylock free. –Robert Avila

Ingelore "My name is Ingelore Hertz Honigstein. I'm not angry any more." On the eve of Kristallnacht, a young deaf German Jewish girl missed the bus before the 8:00 pm curfew, changing her life forever. Raised in uncaring foster homes, spit upon by peers and attacked by Nazi soldiers, Ingelore's unforgettable personal story subtly, delicately guides us from the depths of indignity along the path to forgiveness. World Premiere. —KD Davis
