The Yiddish Divas are inviting Melburnians to enter Into the Red Tent this March with their new cabaret show at the Kadimah.

The show is intended to share the experience of a woman’s world in all its sensuality, joy, pain, beauty and ugliness.

Director of Into the Red Tent Evelyn Krape told The AJN, “The Red Tent is a space where women are free to explore and share the visceral experience of a woman’s world, in all its alluring sensuousness, its joys and griefs, where the richly multitudinous versions of femaleness, femininity and womanliness are shared between older and younger women.”

The show is inspired by Anita Diamant’s novel, The Red Tent.

Krape shared, “In our production, as well as six women, we embrace a young man who explores that side of himself which dwells in a female identity. From the moment you enter the Kadimah the experience begins.”

The critically acclaimed Yiddish Divas enjoyed sold-out seasons at the Kadimah in 2018 and the Melbourne Cabaret Festival at Chapel Off Chapel in 2019.

This year’s production stars Deidre Rubenstein, Karen Feldman, Elisa Gray, Freydi Mrocki, Josh Reuben, Freya Boltman and Noa Coates, with Adam Starr as musical director.

Into the Red Tent runs for four shows only at Melbourne’s Kadimah Jewish Cultural Centre: Saturday, March 18, Thursday, March 23, and Saturday, March 25 at 7.30pm and Sunday, March 26 at 2pm. Tickets start at $25. Further information and bookings: kadimah.org.au/event/yiddish-divas-iii-into-the-red-tent
