Item Description
Purimshpiel 2016, Two Premium Seats.
Generously donated by Sisterhood of Temple Beth Jacob.
To be held at Temple Beth Jacob, 67 Broadway, Concord, NH, March 2016. An annual tradition at Temple Beth Jacob, for more than a decade the Purimshpiel has become a major Concord, NH happening, performing to capactity audiences.
What is a Purimsphiel? The recognizably modern Purimspiel emerged in its dramatic-musical format in the 19th century, in Germany, influenced by opera and the changing perceptions of Jewish community life in western Europe (though its early history dates to the 12th century). The subject matter similarly became westernized, both socially and politically.
Since then, Purimspiels – whether in their minimalistic spoofs or at their most bombastic performances – have also tended to satirize contemporary political culture while continuing to take in the musical culture of their day – from opera through rock and pop to hip-hop. Whether amateur or professional, they have moved far from their theological and folkloristic origins, but continue to offer a vehicle for satire and comedy about Jewish life and major issues of the day.
