Bonjour Monsieur Chagall is a colorful musical performance based on poetic works and painting by Marc Chagall. The play is reminiscent of the atmosphere of the Jewish World from Eastern Europe, where this extraordinary artist grew up and evolved. Vivid visions of the painter from Vitebsk revive in the scenes abounding in nostalgic humor, lyrical Jewish music, dance and a fairylike atmosphere. The script was inspired by a personal meeting of Jewish theater director Szymon Szurmiej with Chagall himself.
