The Sejny Chronicles at La MaMa 's
La MaMa E.T.C., in the association with the Polish Cultural Institute and Borderland Foundation in Sejny presents The Sejny Chronicles by Bozena Szroeder, at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club's Annex from 10 - 20 Apr 2008.
The Sejny Chronicles: Actors approach the town, listen to the houses, and hear a Jewish prayer from one, the Lord�s Prayer in Polish from another, and then in Lithuanian, and Russian� then lullabies in the many languages spoken along the shifting borders of Eastern Europe.
The play is unusual because the actors � teen-age children of Poles, Lithuanians, and Russian Old-believers living until today in Sejny � tell the real stories and legends handed down by their own grandparents and great-grandparents.
The Sejny Chronicles will be performed in Polish, Lithuanian, Yiddish and Russian with English subtitles.
