Join Theatre@TI onsite for a staged reading of “Memoriam” by Noga Flaishon in recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This reading will be performed by Bram Shapiro, Valya Shapiro, Cantor Alicia Stillman, Lily Van Cleave, Christopher Wetmore and directed by Rachel Ollagnon. Following the reading, please join us for tea, cookies, and a discussion.

In the near future, Memoriam Inc. buys and sells memories, digitizing them for mass-viewership. Customers can rent memories and experience them fully, even feeling the sensations the original memory-holder felt: childbirth, joyful reunions, romantic wedding proposals – almost like watching a short movie but much more intimate and personal. Now Rachel, a buyer for Memoriam, is going after the most important and most personal memory acquisition she has ever sought: the memories of the last Holocaust survivor on earth – who happens to be her own grandmother. A powerful, painful, loving story of family and what memories mean, who owns them, and what we owe to future generations.

Temple Israel is proud to participate in the 2025 annual National Jewish Theater Foundation’s Holocaust Theater International Initiative Remembrance Readings. Through this commitment, we honor the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. Our collective goal is to keep alive their memories, stories, and must-never-to-be-forgotten lessons. May the unique power of theater in performance and education serve as an artistic moral compass for future generations.
