Indeed, during the first half of the twentieth century, Yiddish theatre was one of the most representative cultural practices of Argentine Jews. Some of the reasons for this are the number of Yiddish speakers, the influence that the critics held, and the public interest in the productions. For many, the theatre offered a space not only for the staging of Yiddish drama, but also for a particular type of non-religious community meeting. It was in that year, 1901, that Bernardo Waissman, the first professional actor to come to and stay in Argentina, produced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/goldfadens-rules-for-yiddish-actors\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/goldfadens-rules-for-yiddish-actors\">Goldfaden<\/a>\u2019s \u201cEl Tartamudo\u201d (<em>Tsvey Kuni-Leml \/ The Two Kuni-Lemls<\/em>) at the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/teatrosdebuenosairesdelsigloxviialxxi.blogspot.com\/2012\/11\/32-teatro-doria.html\" target=\"_blank\">Teatro Doria<\/a>&nbsp;in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yiddish theatre in Buenos Aires was just beginning to take shape when World War I broke out, forcing many actors to return to Europe. This ushered in a period of decline. That being said, even as World War I raged, Samuel Goldenberg\u2019s companies at the Teatro Olimpo and Samuel Blum and Carlos Guttentag\u2019s Compa\u00f1\u00eda de Operetas y Comedias (company of operettas and comedies) at the Teatro Battaglia were still able to produce two performances a week. Argentine Yiddish theatre would not rebound until 1918, but after the war, its growth would continue through the 1950s. World War II also influenced many theatre artists to settle in Argentina. What began as a Yiddish theatrical appendage in the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Southern_Cone\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Cone<\/a>, simply replicating that of other Yiddish theatre locales, would eventually take on its own unique characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/Bernardo-Waisman.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/Bernardo-Waisman.webp 600w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/Bernardo-Waisman-252x300.webp 252w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Poster for the play&nbsp;<em>A mame fun yener velt&nbsp;<\/em>(A mother from the other world) with actor and director Bernardo Waisman at the Teatro Orfe\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ol in Argentina in 1924.

Ultimately, Buenos Aires would become the most important place for Yiddish theatre in South America. Luminaries such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maurice_Schwartz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maurice Schwartz<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1977\/07\/23\/archives\/jacob-benami-actor-dies-at-86-a-founder-of-jewish-art-theater.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ben Ami<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jwa.org\/encyclopedia\/article\/picon-molly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Molly Picon<\/a>, among others, arrived regularly and were supported by local&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/porteno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Porte\u00f1o<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/perla-rosenblum\">talent<\/a>. The number of theatres dedicated to these works increased, and works of varied themes and styles were produced in both Yiddish and Spanish. By the end of the 1960s, Yiddish theatre\u2019s prominence in Argentina was beginning to wane. But there is now a renewed interest in Yiddish language and culture, prompting new research on Yiddish-language artistic productions, specifically of music, theatre and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could point to factors such as the number of Yiddish speakers, critics\u2019 influence, and a willing theatregoing public for the growth of Yiddish theatre in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/jevel_katz\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/jevel_katz\">Buenos Aires<\/a>&nbsp;during the first half of the twentieth century. The truth is, however, that the theatres and halls offered a space not only for the staging of works, but also for a particular type of non-religious community meeting. It constituted a social and symbolic field that accompanied and partly sheltered the processes of social, economic, cultural transformation and linguistic acquisition of the immigrants as they were blending their Eastern European roots with the customs of the new home.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"447\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/nekome-manuscrito-447x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/nekome-manuscrito-447x1024.webp 447w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/nekome-manuscrito-131x300.webp 131w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/nekome-manuscrito.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Manuscript for the Criollismo play,&nbsp;<em>La princesa jud\u00eda de la Patagonia&nbsp;<\/em>(The Jewish princess from Patagonia) by Jacobo Liachovitzky circa 1919.

The influence of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bh.org.il\/blog-items\/story-zvi-migdal-infamous-jewish-prostitution-cartel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tzvi Migdal<\/a>, the prostitution and trafficking organization, and the struggles that the intelligentsia and politicians had in expelling them. Tzvi Migdal had a strong influence on the tenor of the theatres\u2019 repertoires. The close relationship it had with prostitution, at least in its initial stage, has been studied by such scholars as Victor Mirelman and Nora Glickman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. It took on characteristics of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Criollismo\">Criollismo<\/a>, including works of Argentine authors that reflected the life in the agricultural colonies installed in the interior of the country with the support of the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org\/jewish-colonization-association-ica\" target=\"_blank\">Jewish Colonization Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/goles2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/goles2.webp 600w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/goles2-217x300.webp 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Title page of the play&nbsp;<em>Goles<\/em>&nbsp;\/&nbsp;<em>El cautiverio<\/em>&nbsp;(Diaspora) by Marcos Alpersohn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>3. The coexistence of the \u201cstar system\u201d (a system that granted permanent visits to \u201cgreat\u201d international figures) and the independent theatre, which had a significant impact on the non-Jewish national scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus Yiddish theatre in Buenos Aires would develop its own specific qualities. In the early 1930s, Argentina was considered one of the four major Yiddish theatre centers in the world, alongside the Soviet Union, Poland, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This theatrical movement has been recorded in numerous testimonies. In general, the testimonies shed light on the divisions between&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yivoencyclopedia.org\/article.aspx\/theater\/yiddish_theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shund theatre and art theatre<\/a>, independent vs. commercial theatre, and whether or not the productions ought to be produced in Yiddish or Spanish. These commentaries also include extensive discussions of what genres and styles were taken from European and North American Yiddish theatre, and what was influenced by local genres, such as Criollismo. I will conclude by sharing fragments of three of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2001, the actor, teacher, and director Max Berliner recalled in an interview, \u201cWe arrived [in Argentina] in 1922, carrying the weight of the pogroms. Why continue suffering in Europe? We saved ourselves! My father told me to pursue theatre. I began with a poetry teacher, in Yiddish. Although there were no schools, there were seven Yiddish theatres [\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe went to each premiere. It was a party. We dressed, we bathed. We saw the vaudeville actress&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jwa.org\/encyclopedia\/article\/Goldstein-Jennie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jennie Goldstein<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milkenarchive.org\/artists\/view\/moishe-oysher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moyshe Oysher<\/a>, and, years later, Ben Ami. The theatre was filled with prostitutes, women of the night. The theatre lived by them, they fell in love, they threw flowers, they gave away jewels. It was a mixture of real and fictional prostitution. I remember a brunette\u2026 a real beauty, who always sat in the third row. Once, at the beginning of a play featuring Jennie Goldstein, she fainted. The piece was stopped, then, after public assistance was called in, the play resumed. It really affected her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen, the intellectuals and the trade unionists campaigned to demand that the impresarios bar prostitutes from entering; newspapers even stopped covering the performances. There was one activist, [Samuel] Rollansky, who was editor of&nbsp;<em>Diario Israelita&nbsp;<\/em>and director of the IWO [the Argentine branch of YIVO]. He led a campaign, posting notices that read, \u2018<em>Tmeim<\/em>&nbsp;[pimps] are forbidden from entering.\u2019 In 1940, at the Omb\u00fa Theater, a poster that read \u2018The impure are forbidden to enter\u2019 was posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere were foreign actors who started to present works that cast immigrants in lead roles\u2026 Cooperatives were formed to rent rooms to the actors for the season. For example, they would bring in actors like Ben Ami. When \u2018Jud Su\u00df\u2019 was produced,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/but-enough-about-strindberg-lets-talk-about-goldenberg\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/but-enough-about-strindberg-lets-talk-about-goldenberg\">Samuel Goldenberg<\/a>&nbsp;took one room, Maurice Schwartz another.\u201d<sup><a href=\"#fn\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2006, Samuel Achum recalled in an interview, \u201cI arrived in 1930 with absolutely nothing. I was eighteen. There was a community dining room for immigrants, and it was there that I met people from Europe. In 1932, we formed the&nbsp;<em>Idishe dramatisher studio<\/em>.
