Performed in Yiddish with French and English supertitles. the Sages of Chelm is one of the DWYT’s most beloved plays that breathes new life into Eastern European Jewish folklore.
The romantic comedy, with original music performed by a live band and entertaining group dance numbers, is a heart-warming story packed with hilarity, mistaken identity, and star-crossed lovers.
“It is said that when Earth was created and the time came to fill it with people, an angel was chosen to deposit wise and foolish souls evenly over the land. But after getting caught on a mountaintop, the sack of foolish souls spilled out into the town of Chelm…Hilarity ensues when a stranger drops into town and only has eyes for the belle of the village.”
Joyful , energetic and a beautiful blend of modern storytelling of a traditional tale, the Sages of Chelm is a delightful and entertaining musical that patrons of all ages can enjoy

Designed to engage all of your senses , but sight, this revised version of the show Camille: un rendez-vous au-delà du visuel offers a sensory experience that is accessible to all audience members, whether they are people who are blind, partially-sighted or sighted .
This unusual work, specially designed for people living with visual impairments, offers a completely new sensory encounter with dance and theatre. Audience members are invited to enter the performance space, to sit at the centre of the set, as the story unfolds. The small capacity of six audience members per performance promises an intimate, unique, and multi-sensory experience.
