Jews, Ukrainians, Soviets? Backstage in the Yiddish theatres of Soviet Ukraine

Abstract Questions of collaboration and contestation between Yiddish-language and Ukrainian-language theatrical artists often become confused with who was Jewish, who was Ukrainian, and who used which themes in their work. Yet although young artists in 1920s Soviet Ukraine revolutionized theatre in the Yiddish, Ukrainian, and Russian languages, they often did so in the same spaces, with the same plays, and even the same actors and technical personnel. Moreover, neither the form nor the content of ethnic cultures was fixed. A backstage perspective suggests both the hybridity of theatre in the region and the power of the region itself as an analytic category.
