Inspired by historical events surrounding Raquel Liberman, Bordello is the immigrant story of one brave woman who was forced into prostitution and risks everything to bring an international Jewish sex-trafficking ring to justice. With a musical palette that includes tango and klezmer, this never-been-told-before tale of love and bravery is set in the colorful world of Buenos Aires in 1920.
