Jim Henson’s company Wakka Wakka Productions, celebrated the premiere of Fabrik: The Legend of M. Rabinowitz in New York, with incredible reviews from the NY Times. Now, in time for Holocaust Education Week, you can catch the innovative show, which features three professional puppeteers in multiple roles, right here in Toronto for a limited engagement.
The story of Fabrik is based on the harrowing true story of Moritz Rabinowitz who fled to Norway as a child during the Jewish exodus from pogrom-plagued Poland. We meet this quirky character at the end of World War I. A husband and father who has risen from poverty, he becomes one of Norway’s leading men’s clothing manufacturers and an outspoken and courageous denouncer of the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe. This magical play, transports audiences with exquisite puppetry and music, through a delightful and haunting theatrical experience.
The New York Times described it as “powerfully affecting…seamless…consistently startling…(It) will haunt you”
Fabrik is a featured event during Holocaust Education Week and is ideal for children and adults of all cultural backgrounds.
