Description

Performing Modernism: A Jewish Avant-Garde in Bucharest This book offers a new perspective on modernist design and performance in interwar Romania, focusing on the period from 1924 to 1934. It explores the transnational impact of Jewish cultural production, highlighting its influence on avant-garde movements across Europe. Through extensive research in Romania, Latvia, Germany, and the United States, this volume sheds light on the connections between Bucharest and other key cities through modern design and experimental Yiddish theatre. The book challenges traditional views on the Bauhaus movement's influence in Romania, instead arguing that the Schule Reimann had a more significant impact. By drawing on scholarship from performance studies, design history, and art history, this volume makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of modernism and avant-garde movements.
