My Grandfather's Prayers
$19.99Price
A Co-Production of Jewish Life Television and Red Herring Puppets
A theatrical production based upon the remarkable life of
Cantor Izso Glickstein (1889-1947)
Izso Gickstein was a Jewish Ukrainian prodigy whose powerful
golden voice expressed the passion and determination of a
people holding onto faith and tradition
through the violent diaspora of the 20th century.
His story is told by his granddaughter, Lisa Aimee Sturz,
using shadow puppets, scrolling backgrounds, marionettes,
digital compositing, and poetic text to explore her own
Jewish ancestry, artistry, and spirituality.
