Gido's coming home! Performing Music and Theatre from the Terezin/Theresienstadt Ghetto for Commemoration, Education and Inspiration

“吉多要回家了！”是一个为期六个月的系列纪念、教学和表演活动，建立在ahrc资助的犹太档案表演（PtJA）项目的基础上，以吸引捷克共和国的新观众。吉多——杰出的年轻捷克犹太作曲家吉迪恩·克莱因——如果不是在25岁时死于大屠杀，他将在2019年12月6日迎来100岁生日。我们将举办一系列纪念活动、教学研讨会和公开表演，纪念他的一生，以及其他同样被囚禁在布拉格附近Terezin犹太区的艺术家的生活和作品，传播捷克合作伙伴认为最有助于纪念、教育和启发的PtJA成果和方法。PtJA项目旨在恢复和重新上演由流离失所的犹太艺术家在漫长的20世纪创作的音乐和戏剧作品。PtJA的目标是通过将传统档案材料、幸存者证词和犹太艺术家的艺术创作视为同等价值的来源，重新定义“档案”的概念，在新发现的档案中寻找这些作品，将结果传播给学术界和公众受益人，特别是通过公开表演，并创建一个新的、可持续的档案。特别是通过互动式网络资源，将我们的工作录音提供给教育工作者和公众。由于捷克共和国的Terezin Ghetto有着异常活跃的文化生活，是我们PtJA的主要调查地点之一，我们于2016年9月在捷克共和国举办了一场国际表演节。由于该节日的成功举办以及在此过程中建立的合作关系，我们开辟了新的途径，使我们能够接触首都以外小城镇的捷克社区，在不寻常的场所举办活动以吸引新的观众，并通过捷克组织提供的意想不到的机会（例如，参加他们自己的教师培训方案）影响捷克关于大屠杀的教学方法。活动将于2019年7月至12月举行：2019年7月。在Holesov小镇举行的为期五天的犹太文化节期间，我们将呈现基于Terezin艺术家原创材料的歌舞表演和基于克莱因生活的戏剧。2019年9月。各省和首都的文化和教育活动包括：克莱恩的家乡Prerov纪念活动,包括爵士音乐会举办的城市,以一个新的成分受基甸Klein,克莱恩的音乐会在最近翻新工作在布尔诺的省会城市,历史家的讲座在布拉格举行的犹太博物馆从脚本创建新的戏剧写在Terezin贫民窟,在布拉格和车间为富布赖特31新来的老师在英语教育中使用Terezin艺术家的遗产。2019年12月。克莱因诞辰周年纪念活动将在布拉格举行，包括：在布拉格音乐学院举行纪念音乐会，克莱因在那里完成了他的音乐学习，并在那里为克莱因举办了一个永久性的展览，在麦塞尔犹太教堂举行庆祝克莱因音乐的庆祝活动，由他启发的新作品，以及弗莱格博士的克莱因新传记的发布，以及在最近翻新的历史住宅举行的纪念克莱因一生的最后一场音乐会，邀请观众穿着20世纪30年代的服装参加。我们的目标是吸引新的观众和教育工作者，力求取得一种虽然几乎无法衡量，但具有不可估量价值的成果：随着人们对在大屠杀中丧生的令人难以置信的个人的认识不断提高，他们将越来越愿意反对可能导致类似灾难的各种歧视。

'Gido's coming home!' is a six-month series of commemorative, pedagogical and performance events that builds on the AHRC-funded Performing the Jewish Archive (PtJA) project to reach new audiences in the Czech Republic. Gido - the extraordinary young Czech-Jewish composer Gideon Klein - would have been 100 years old on 6th December 2019, had he not perished in the Holocaust at the age of 25. With a series of commemorative events, pedagogical workshops and public performances celebrating his life, and the lives and work of other individual artists who were also imprisoned in the Terezin Ghetto near Prague, we will disseminate the PtJA outputs and methods that our Czech partners find most useful for commemoration, education and inspiration. The PtJA project aimed to recover and restage musical and theatrical works created by displaced Jewish artists during the long 20th century. PtJA's objectives were to reconceptualise the notion of 'the archive' by treating traditional archival materials, survivor testimony and artistic creations by Jewish artists as sources of equal value, to seek such works in newly discovered archives, to disseminate the results both to academic and public beneficiaries, especially through public performances, and to create a new, sustainable archive, in particular through an interactive web resource that makes recordings of our work available to educators and the public. Because the Terezin Ghetto in the Czech Republic, with its unusually active cultural life, was one of our key sites of investigation for PtJA, we held one of our international performance festivals in the Czech Republic in September 2016. Due to the success of that festival and the collaborative relationships developed in the process, new pathways have opened up for us to reach Czech communities in small towns outside of the capital, to hold events in unusual venues to attract new audiences, and to influence Czech pedagogy about the Holocaust thanks to unexpected levels of access granted by Czech organizations (for example, to their own teacher training programmes). The events will take place from July to December 2019: July 2019. During a five-day Jewish cultural festival held in the small town of Holesov we will present a cabaret based on original material by Terezin artists and a play based on Klein's life. September 2019. Cultural and pedagogical events in the provinces and in the capital include: a commemoration in Klein's hometown of Prerov, including a jazz concert hosted by the city and featuring a new composition inspired by Gideon Klein, a concert of Klein's work in a recently renovated historic home in the provincial city of Brno, a lecture at the Jewish Museum in Prague on creating new plays from scripts written in the Terezin ghetto, and a workshop in Prague for 31 newly arrived Fulbright teachers on using the Terezin artists' legacy in English-language education. December 2019. The events for the anniversary of Klein's birth will take place in Prague and include: a commemorative concert at the Prague Conservatory where Klein completed his musical studies and the unveiling of a permanent exhibition there in his honour, a celebration at the Maisel Synagogue featuring Klein's music, a new composition inspired by him, and the launch of Dr Fligg's new biography of Klein, and a finale concert celebrating Klein's life in a recently renovated historic home, with spectators invited to attend in 1930s dress. By aiming to reach new audiences of spectators and educators we strive for an outcome that, although virtually impossible to measure, is of inestimable value: that as people's awareness of the incredible individuals who were lost in the Holocaust grows, they will become increasingly willing to oppose the types of discrimination that could lead to similar catastrophes.
