Summer in Ivye chronicles the events that took place during one remarkable summer when American choreographer Tamar Rogoff staged an international theater production in a forest outside a remote, dirt road village in Belarus. Bringing together an unlikely mix of actors, dancers, musicians, and local townspeople, she created a performance that surrealistically echoed life in the the once vibrant Jewish town before World War II. With warmth and humor, the film captures the group’s attempt to transcend differences in language, religion, and culture in order to tell a moving story of love and loss. With original music by composer Frank London (of the Klezmer-fusion band, “The Klezmatics”), and performances by renowned Lithuanian actor Kostas Smoriginas and Yiddish theater veteran David Rogow.
