Moses Man: Overview

Moses Man: A New Musical powerfully portrays the indomitable spirit of survival as it recounts the incredible true saga of a Holocaust survivor, who fled Vienna, Austria during Hitler’s annexation. In this emotion-packed musical epic, the audience joins “Avi” through his perilous nine-year journey throughout Europe, Cyprus, Palestine, and Africa before finally finding freedom and home in America.

Moses Man is based on the historically significant implications of the displacement of those facing persecution during the Holocaust, also reflects the contemporary dilemmas faced by each of us, aiming to instigate consideration, conversation and education.

The creators of Moses Man are proud to be the recipients of The Gerald and Dorit Paul Artist-in-Residence, Robert A. and Sandra S. Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University.
