Inspired by the true story of a family of 7 musicians with dwarfism who survived Auschwitz, Zwerge had its full debut at Dixon Place in NYC in the fall of 2014. In its first incarnation, Zwerge was workshopped at the National Puppetry Conference as the Artist in Residence piece under the title '7 Dwarves: A Survival Story".
Zwerge is produced by Little Shadow Productions.
