‘Nine suitcases’ Ellen ten Damme and the Lilalo theatre
Together with scriptwriter Marie Kiebert, Interakt Productions and broadcasting company EO, Marieke directed and filmed together with Jaap Veldhoen documentary about a former Yiddish Amsterdam theater Lilalo and its founders, the nomadic artists Jossy Halland and her husband and pianist Jacques Halland, who have been part of a fascinating part of European history and their way of living. The Dutch singer Ellen ten Damme is collaborating to discover the personal history of Jossy as an inspiration for her new show.
The story traces along the lines of the radical Yiddish theatre in Warschau where Jossy was born and started her career, their performances in Brussels in the refuge tramway house and Paris in the 30’s and 40’s, their incredible escape on a 2-person bike to the south of France, where they survived the WOII by being part of the resistance movement, Maquis, their travels and performances though Europe with nine suitcases, and establishing their well known Lilalo theatre in the end of 50s. It offered a safe and welcoming place in post war Amsterdam, for Jews and non-Jews, being the last Yiddish theater in Western Europe.
