Ensemble Can Presents OPERATION SILK GLOVES

The new play from "Ensemble Can" was written especially for the Israel Museum and takes place in the museum's various galleries. Just as the museum addresses its visitors through the gallery so does this project when the viewers experience the drama in an intimate way by using the museum's audio guide, along with original music.

Three actors play characters working at the museum, including a soldier leading an army group tour and a museum guard, and lead the viewers deeper into the museum, a journey during which their personal story emerges beyond the official talk. The expected museum-establishment discourse gradually dissipates, as an array of thought provoking, enraging, touching and funny moments are woven from and between the different exhibits.

Actors: Esti Zakhem, Talya Menashe, Arnon Rozenthal

Ensemble Can was founded in 2009, after a decade of collaboration, by director Shlomo Plessner and dramaturge and playwright Ido Borenstein in order to allow creators and actors alike their own space for independent creation.
The group presented over ten original well acclaimed works such as "Hunger", "Sunrise", "Dogs" and more, as well as classics such as "The Trojan Women" and others.
