Launch Event

Category theatre

In this all-new original audio drama, a young Canadian woman, Kat, discovers her Jewish heritage in her 20s and quickly packs her bags to meet her estranged family in Berlin—only to be thrust into a burgeoning global crisis when zombified Holocaust victims begin rising from the mass graves of former concentration camps. While the German government panics and antisemitic conspiracy theorists run amok with online hate, Kat realizes nobody is listening to the victims themselves, one of whom is not only peaceful—but mysteriously drawn to her.

In this staged reading, coinciding with the show’s launch on the The Canadian Jewish News Podcast Network, live actors will perform scenes from the play while post-production sound effects fill out an immersive in-person audio experience. Hear from creators Michael Fraiman (director of podcasts, The CJN) and Max Ackerman (artistic director, Dandelion Theatre) about the show’s origins and intentions as an innovative piece of Holocaust education designed for the digital age.
