New Plays Premiering This Year at the Gesher Theatre

Gesher Theatre is opening a new season with the premiering play Tel Horef.

Once in 70 years the city of Tel Aviv wears white. It is the time in which the residents of Tel Aviv are waiting to see the Aurora Borealis appear for the first time above the Azrieli Towers. It is also a time in which they're searching for love. Nine couples meet for one moment where their lives will be changed forever.

A new love will be born, another love will die, hearts will be broken and others will start beating again.

Does true love, just like the snow over Tel Aviv, arrive only once in 70 years? Or maybe it happens all the time and all that is needed is not to miss it and to catch it at the right time and place? This is a play about love, but in Tel Aviv.
