	The Dybbuk- An Opera in Yiddish (PAL ONLY)
		The Dybbuk is a tale, which takes place in a small Jewish town where the souls of both the living and the dead transcend their respective realms.
		The spirit of Hanan has taken control of her in the form of a demon, a dybbuk, and refuses to leave.
		In this respect, the Dybbuk is a passionate play which was destined to become an opera: An especially riveting moment occurs when the soprano, Leah, opens her mouth to sing, Hanan's tenor voice is heard, and an elusive vocal exchange begins.

	Dybbuk Summary
		Finally, while dybbuk possession was involuntary and the victim not culpable for what she said or did under the influence, many victims were thought to have been possessed as a punishment for a previous sin of omission or commission.
		Dybbuks are said to have escaped from Gehenna, a Hebrew term very loosely translated as "hell." Or may have been turned away from Gehenna due to transgressions too serious for the soul to be allowed there, such as suicide.
		The word "dybbuk" is derived from the Hebrew דיבוק, meaning "attachment"; the dybbuk attaches itself to the body of a living person and inhabits it, and must be exorcised by a prescribed religious rite.

		The 1922 "Dybbuk" revival by the Hebrew-speaking Habima Theater in Moscow, now based in Tel Aviv, was directed by Yevgeny Vakhtangov, a pupil of Constantin Stanislavsky, the famed Russian director, teacher, actor and co-founder of the Moscow Art Theater.

		It's common for Poles his age to have grown up never even having heard that their country was once home to 3 million Jews, 90 percent of whom perished in the Holocaust, and almost all the rest driven out or underground in "anti-Zionist" purges of the 1960s.
		To emphasize Jewish absence, Warlikowski casts the Israeli actor Orna Porat as the rabbi trying to exorcise the bride's dybbuk, and unlike the rest of the Polish-speaking cast, she speaks modern Hebrew.
