The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk
Northlight Theatre
Skokie, IL
“Margolius’s ecstatic vision is brought brilliantly to life by her two leads…”
Zac Thriffiley, Broadway World
“Elizabeth Margolius’ direction, particularly her choreography of movement, is seamless. Each gesture and motion feels purposeful, blending with the music and set design to create a fluid visual experience. The show’s rhythm never falters, and Margolius’ staging makes full use of every inch of space, from the intimate moments in Chagall’s studio to the sweeping grandeur of their shared dreams and memories.
“Northlight Theatre’s production of The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk is nothing short of a masterpiece—a beautifully choreographed blend of music, movement, and visual storytelling that perfectly embodies the expressionist spirit of Marc Chagall’s art.”
Frank Meccia, Around the Town Chicago
