The characters begin as young classmates, children of 5 and 6 playing and learning together and dreaming of their futures. In this context, \u201cBut what could I do?\u201d refers to harmless events, such as one student silently standing by while another is teased for his unrequited crush. As they reach young adulthood, the classmates are haplessly thrust into the roles of victim and perpetrator, and \u201cBut what could I do?\u201d takes on a terrifying gravity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That the murderers in \u201cOur Class\u201d were conducted by Jews\u2019 neighbors, rather than occupying German Nazis, is what made director Igor Golyak so eager to tackle S\u0142obodzianek\u2019s text.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was just regular people, just like you and I, that could reach these heights of hate and find a reason to burn their neighbors,\u201d Golyak, a Ukrainian Jew who immigrated to the United States at the age of 11, told the New York Jewish Week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based in the Boston area, Golyak is the founder and artistic director of Arlekin Players Theater, a company made up of Jewish immigrants and refugees from Eastern Europe dedicated to presenting Russian theater. He\u2019s gained acclaim in recent years for his virtual theater work, including \u201cState vs. Natasha Banina,\u201d which was a New York Times Critics Pick, and \u201cchekhovOS\/an experimental game\/,\u201d starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Jessica Hecht.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Golyak and his creative team first read \u201cOur Class\u201d together in May 2023, they drew comparisons to the ongoing war in Ukraine. What they couldn\u2019t have expected was how Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, and its aftermath that has included both a war in Gaza and global displays of antisemitism, have recast S\u0142obodzianek\u2019s play in a new light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt feels very urgent, like it\u2019s another recognition of the importance of not forgetting the antisemitism and hate that unfortunately exists in the world,\u201d Golyak said. \u201cWe think this lies asleep in the world culture. But it is a very light sleeper.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jta.org\/2016\/07\/12\/global\/75-years-after-jedwabne-pogrom-poland-still-struggling-with-complicity-issues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jedwabne pogrom was thrust into the spotlight in 2001 with the publication of Jan T. Gross\u2019 book \u201cNeighbors.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Gross, a professor of history at Princeton University, discovered that despite public perception \u2014\u00a0and even a memorial in Jedwabne \u2014 the massacre of the village\u2019s 1,600 Jews did not happen by the hands of the Nazis. Rather, it was the local Catholic Polish population who took the initiative in torturing, murdering and burning alive their neighbors. Gross\u2019 revelation led\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jta.org\/archive\/around-the-jewish-world-leaders-seek-pardon-at-jedwabne-but-some-poles-still-remain-in-denial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Poland\u2019s president, Aleksander Kwasniewski to apologize to the international Jewish community in 2001, though some Poles remained in denial<\/a>. A decade later, on the 70th anniversary of the massacre,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jta.org\/2011\/07\/11\/global\/polands-president-asks-for-forgiveness-at-jedwabne-memorial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski asked for forgiveness again.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, however, the Polish government has adopted an official stance of denial, vigorously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2023\/03\/21\/poland-distorts-holocaust-history-gross-jedwabne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">rejecting any claims of local complicity in the Nazi campaign against the Jews<\/a>, which left 90% of Polish Jews dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexandra Silber, a Jewish actress with a ream of Broadway and West End credits who\u2019s playing the part of Jewish classmate Rachelka, has also felt the tenor of the play shift since the events of Oct 7. \u201cIt\u2019s made it horrifying and relevant in a new way,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt really called upon by Rachelka to serve her. I have a lot to say on her behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachelka is one of a handful of Jewish characters in \u201cOur Class\u201d who aren\u2019t killed in the pogrom. One of her Polish classmates hides her away and eventually marries her. She converts to Catholicism and changes her name. Like with each of the 10 classmates, Rachelka\u2019s journey raises its own questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs it better to survive?\u201d reflects Silber. \u201cRachelka\u2019s Jewishness, her Jewish name, her Jewish soul departs, and she has to live as a new person. Every single thing about her survivor\u2019s life does not resemble who she began as, and is that better?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Silber, the cast is made up of actors hailing from New York, Los Angeles, Ukraine and Russia, and includes both Jewish artists and some with Polish roots. \u201cWe\u2019ve really created an unbelievable diversity of humanity in our group of 10,\u201d Silber said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golyak adds that after the Oct. 7 attack, the cast came together in a series of discussions. \u201cWe have cast members and team members, designers, that were personally affected by Oct. 7 because of relatives and friends that have actually been murdered,\u201d he said. \u201cSo it\u2019s been a very, very personal journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While \u201cOur Class\u201d dives deeply into its challenging subject matter, it is not without its moments of levity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m trying to find a lot of humor in this play because people are funny, and that\u2019s what makes them humans and humane,\u201d Golyak said. \u201cWe can relate to people that make mistakes and are sometimes funny and sometimes awkward, and these people are just like us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York audiences will have the chance to see themselves most clearly in the character of Abram, the only one of the 10 classmates who left for the United States before the 1941 pogrom. Throughout the play, Abram (played by \u201cIndecent\u201d star Richard Topol) communicates with his old friends through letters, trying to piece together the conflicting information he receives from the safety of his home in New York.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abram serves as a foil, a reminder of the fallibility and subjectivity of memory. \u201cWe need to understand this as people living in America, separated by the ocean from evil,\u201d Golyak said. \u201cThe more relatable Abram is, the more we understand that this evil is actually closer than we think.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology has become a hallmark of Golyak\u2019s work, and this production uses devices such as a fake documentary movie set \u2014 complete with an onstage camera person \u2014 along with chalk drawings and projections, to expose elements of the characters\u2019 journeys. He\u2019s joined by a creative team including scenic designer Jan Pappelbaum, music director Lisa Gutkin, choreographer Or Schraiber, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur Class\u201d raises a lot of questions, but neither S\u0142obodzianek nor Golyak are interested in offering simple answers. But for the director, that\u2019s precisely the point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to overcome these big events in one\u2019s life, and I\u2019m definitely not here to judge who did the right thing or the wrong thing, because I don\u2019t know how I would act in these situations,\u201d Golyak said. \u201cBut the beauty of this play is that it asks these questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cOur Class\u201d will be performed through Feb. 4 at BAM\u2019s Fisher Fishman space (321 Ashland Pl., Brooklyn).\u00a0<\/em><a
