About Singing Swallows at Theatre Works
“A storyteller can attempt to tell the human tale, can remind us that the swallows still sing around the smokestacks.” – Jane Yolen.
A beautiful and symbolic representation of a storytelling experience that cannot be replicated. An early start to understanding the Holocaust, connecting to young peoples lives through voice recording and visual storytelling.
SINGING SWALLOWS is a physical theatre performance telling stories from four Holocaust survivors. The audience experiences all sound through individual headphones, which they are given at the beginning of the performance.
Through these headphones, each Holocaust story is shared by the voice of a young person, as the survivors the stories are based on were of young age during the Holocaust.
In between the verbal storytelling, the performers on stage activate the recyclable set, bringing to life the personal experiences heard through the headphones.
Supported by Gandel Philanthropy, Besen Family Foundation, Australian Cultural Fund, Auspicious Arts Projects.

“As our Holocaust survivors are aging, soon we will not have their voices to tell their stories. I believe that Singing Swallows address the need of our community to keep on telling the stories, and reconnect our youth with our Jewish history.” TALI BARR WAANDERS | BIALIK COLLEGE, CO-ORDINATOR OF HEBREW & JEWISH STUDIES PRIMARY AND EARLY LEARNING CENTRE
“I have felt there is a void to sharing these days with younger children, in terms of availing age appropriate, emotionally sensitive material... Romi and her team were able to help us fill that void this year.” RIVKA MEASEY | LEIBLER YAVNEH COLLEGE PRIMARY COORDINATOR OF INFORMAL JEWISH EDUCATION
