His career is profoundly linked to the rediscovery and reinterpretation of Yiddish cultural heritage, which he explores through his theatre company, the Compagnie David Bursztein. His performances, often infused with autobiographical elements, originally blend music, theatre, and storytelling, addressing universal themes such as memory, exile, identity, and cultural transmission. Among his most significant works are "Le Chant du Dire-Dire," "Fragments d'une vie," and "Les Saltimbanques."
