Performed by Adam Meir, Written and Directed by Yonatan Esterkin

Adapted from the novel written by Asher Kravitz

The Logan Festival of Solo Performance | September 18 - 28, 2025

Filtering the darkest, most dramatic period of modern Jewish history, The Jewish Dog offers a view of the Holocaust through the eyes of a canine unusually fascinated by human affairs. Cyrus witnesses firsthand the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. When Nuremberg Laws separate him from his Jewish owners, he is confiscated by the Nazis and employed by the SS as a military concentration camp dog. Directed by Israeli artist Yonatan Esterkin, based on the novel by Asher Kravitz, and featuring Adam Meir as the beloved dog, this performance explores loyalty, identity, and the fine line that separates humanity from animals.
