Ilse the Good Deed

Ilse the Good Deed is an original production by Mikro-teatro, created to mark the 80th anniversary of the death of Jewish writer Ilse Weber.The production is based on her fairy tales, published collectively under the title Báruch the Good Deed. In these stories, she created safe and colourful islands of imagination for Jewish children during the difficult wartime years, filled with a sense of justice and hope for better days. The common thread running through all the stories is the belief that good deeds are rewarded and evil is punished.Sometimes justice is restored in mysterious ways—for example through the invisible cloak of Mendel Rosenbusch—while at other times it is brought about by a childlike sense of friendship that can resolve even the most complicated situations. Let yourself be carried away into the world of Jewish traditions and the unwavering belief that one day justice will be fulfilled. Fairy tale stories will be accompanied by Jewish songs.
