The Dybbuk, winner of the 2025 Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Production, returned to Boston for limited encore performances in fall 2025. A mystical Yiddish folktale, it is a story of love, family, displacement and the restless Jewish soul, reimagined in a contemporary production by Ukrainian-born, Jewish director Igor Golyak and set in the historic sanctuary of The Vilna Shul, Boston's Center for Jewish Culture on Beacon Hill.

Andrey Burkovskiy played the Dybbuk and Yana Gladkikh played Leah, two tragic young lovers hovering between the worlds of the living and the beyond. The cast featured the Arlekin Resident Company, with guest artists Deborah Martin as Frade and Robert Walsh as Sender. Directed by Igor Golyak.
