Abstract

The essay has the objective of presenting some aspects of the formation a Jewish theater spoken in Yiddish in Russia, its challenges and main features. Later we intend to comment a series of reviews by L. S. Vygotsky (1896-1934) on the performances of a theatrical company directed by Menachem Rubin that took place in Gomel (now Belarus) in 1923. The reviews follow the innovations brought by the Jewish theater in the context of Russian avant-garde but also its paradoxes and inconsistencies. The look on provincial productions also reveals the differences in relation to what was made in big centers. At last, the reviews provide an overlook on Vygotsky’s relations to Jewish themes and traditions, an important aspect often neglected in its biography that just recently has received more attention.
