“Poland is Not Yet Lost!” Abbe / Rubenfeld

On March 27, 2025, Poland Is Not Yet Lost will return—don’t miss it

Poland Is Not Yet Lost is a satirical, futuristic vision of Polish reality, in which the State of Israel was destroyed and three million Jews returned to Poland. The Polish president is the famous actor Maciej Stuhr (played by the real Maciej Stuhr), whose decision to convert to Judaism inspired 4 million non-Jewish Poles to follow in his footsteps. Poland, a country currently inhabited by 7 million Jews, is on the eve of a referendum that will decide whether a new Jewish state will be established.

Poland Is Not Yet Lost is a provocation exploring the temptations and dangers of nationalism. Written, directed, and performed by Polish Jews: Dorota Abbe, born in Poland, and Michael Rubenfeld, born in Canada, who play versions of themselves in the show.

The audience, gathered in the theater as if at a political rally, will be faced with a choice: should they vote for a bright future in the new Poland, for a world of equality for all?
