ABOUT THIS EVENT
“YidLife Crisis (in Sweden): Swedishkayt-Live!”
In partnership with Museum of Tolerance and the Consulate General of Sweden.
Ticket includes: FILM + COMEDY + LIVE MUSIC + RECEPTION!
Jamie Elman & Eli Batalion travelled to the last place on earth they’d expect YIDDISH to be a protected minority language: Sweden(?!), inspiring their funny and fascinating chronicle of the Swedish Jewish community, SWEDISHKAYT: YidLife Crisis in Stockholm.
In this special Los Angeles premiere, the boychiks from Montreal will not just accompany the film but perform their patented comedy duo shtik and close out the evening with live music. Expect to learn, laugh, and be inspired… not necessarily in that order.
Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman – the duo of cultural comedians known as YidLife Crisis – are filmmakers and performers from Montreal, Canada. Their work across television, theater, music, and film has been showcased around the world. A shared love of Jewish comedy led them to create “YidLife Crisis”, the first Yiddish-language sitcom, which humorously explores the complexities of modern Jewish life.
