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. This play is magical, transporting audiences with its exquisite puppetry and music. Both delightful and haunting - truly an amazing theatrical experience.
