The band explores the modern design and visual arts in Romania during the interwar period. It follows the transnational paths of remarkable Jewish artists, actors, and directors of the avant-garde who were active in Bucharest in the 1920s and 30s. The book explores the history of Bucharest's first modern design institution and investigates its connections to German design and Bauhaus. On the other hand, it focuses on innovative collaborations in the Jewish theater, including the visit of the world-renowned Wilnaer Troupe to Romania. The author demonstrates how Bucharest connected with Berlin, Riga, and Chicago, highlighting the contribution of Jewish cultural creation to the avant-garde movement in Europe and beyond.
