“KHAÏES” ARE CLASSICAL MUSICIANS WITH EXTENSIVE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE, WHO BRING THE INTIMACY AND VIRTUOSITY OF CHAMBER MUSIC TO THE YIDDISH REPERTOIRE.

“KHAÏES” IS A BROAD REPERTOIRE OF YIDDISH OPERA AND OPERETTA, AS WELL AS YIDDISH FILM MUSIC,FOLK AND VARIETY.

“KHAÏES” ARE MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERFORMANCES THAT WEAVE TOGETHER MUSIC, SONG, DANCE, DRAMA,STAND-UP COMEDY, AND HISTORICAL RESEARCH INTO CAPTIVATING AND INSPIRING STORIES.

“Khaïes” is a complex, polysemic Yiddish word.

It can mean “vital force,” “vitality,” “joy of life” (in certain dialects), and even “wild animals.”

This richness of meaning blends perfectly with the group itself, whose performances draw on a wide range of genres and art forms to create experiences rich in emotion and discovery. They always remain true to the traditions of Yiddish theatre: intimacy, intensity, and improvisation.
