Di Shvegerins

Festivals and events Mount Royal, Outremont and Westmount

First performed in Yiddish in 1992 to great acclaim, "Di Shvegerins" is an iconic translation of one of Quebec’s most celebrated plays – Michel Tremblay’s groundbreaking "Les Belles-sœurs". Now, in its 60th anniversary year, the story of Germaine Lauzon and her lively stamping party once again captures the humour, struggles, and resilience of working-class women in 1960s Montreal. Hilarious, heartfelt, and bold, Di Shvegerins is a powerful celebration of language, culture, and sisterhood that continues to resonate today.
