(Constellation Records, 2004) Nisht Azoy (Constellation Records, 2006) Everything Returns (Constellation Records, 2022) Le Petit Théâtre de l'Absolu Le Petit Théâtre de l'Absolu was a Puppetry theater troupe founded in Montreal, and active from 2001 to 2005. It was co-founded by Gabriel Levine and Scott Levine Gilmore of Black Ox Orkestar. The theater's work consisted of Toy theater shows based on revolutionary history, performed in Canada, the U.S., France, and Spain. Levine's work broadly departs from a recontextualization of traditional and vernacular forms of performance, reinventing and reimagining performance genres articulated via contemporary social concerns. Levine had previously worked in Vermont for the Bread and Puppet Theater in the late 1990s. Early work includes Paris in the 19th Century Part 3: Demolition Polka and Part 4: La Commune. In 2001, Le Petit Theatre de L'Absolu performed at the Chicago Cultural Center as part of Puppetropolis, a two-week, city-sponsored festival of puppet theater. In the autumn of 2003, the theatre toured their children's show, The Rooster and the King, through the occupied Palestinian territories, performing in schools, community centres, and refugee camps. This tour included a performance at the Palestinian National Theatre in Jerusalem as part of the 13th international Puppet Festival, in September 2005. The alt.theatre journal described their work as "activist puppet theatre ... using history to rekindle revolutionary flames and tackle contemporary social issues." Also in 2005, Le Petit Theatre de l’Absolu performed as part of the 7th Toy Theatre Festival, held at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. Steve Abrams writes that they performed "Birds of the Coming Storm, directed by Hermine Ortega, [which] offered stories of seven anarchist demonstrators in 19th-century Chicago who were executed for protesting factory working conditions." Birds of the Coming Storm dealt with the events of Chicago's Haymarket affair. References Ashkenazi Jewish culture in Montreal Canadian folk
