Abstract

On the basis of an inquiry into the relationship between monstrosities and Jewishness, I have begun to adapt the narrative poem "Der Volf" (The Wolf) written by H. Leivik in 1920, with the aim of creating a cycle of Yiddish songs entitled in the same way. So far, I composed, performed and recorded the first two songs: "Ash un koyl un mer gornisht" (Ash(es), coal(es) and nothing else) and "In vald arayn" (Into the forest). In this article, I show and analyze the relationship between the figure of the werewolf, Yiddish and the music composed from the perspective of an artist-researcher.
