In a corner of 19th century Eastern Europe, in a time when all the Jewish brides have mysteriously disappeared, Gumpcha and Pinkel are about to be married…but not if either one has anything to say about it. Based a classic folktale by famed medieval scholar Rabbi Luria, The Corpse Bride is full of eerie theatrical images, dark comedy, and colourful characters. Theatre PANIK’s highly original production combines physical theatre with a stunning original musical score by John Gzowski.  Paying tribute to Yiddish theatrical tradition, silent film and cabaret through live music, stylized movement, and projections, The Corpse Bride features a wonderful cast of fourteen actors, including former prima ballerina Evelyn Hart.  An irreverent, 21st-century tour de force of new Jewish theatre.
