The complex Israeli-Palestinian reality exists in everything in the State of Israel. We live in a temperate Middle Eastern country, with strange and unique people who create a charming and unique mosaic. Noam Gil, the play's author, translated the problematic situation to the play Fear Of The Event, translating it into words filled with laughter and social power.

Artists who are not supported by the Ministry of Culture/ Theater/ OfficeProductions can usually only be defined in one word: CRAZY.

Carrie St. Louis (Rock of Ages, Wicked) was invited to the Habima National Theater to lead a master class in musicals! I was fortunate to be able to attend, and can convey that the experience was amazing!

The play OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS tells about a world of only men. Tziki places an order for a new product: 'woman' with instructions. This new product is a source of great uproar - the prime minister, the general and the senior scientist are each trying to claim ownership of this new toy.

Let's talk about death! Oh! We are all afraid when we hear that word. D-E-A-T-H! We are all afraid of what we leave behind, and have we left enough? Do we live in the moment? I share these fears, too.

My review will focus on the solo actor in the play- Eyal Shechter. Solo plays tend to fail for lack of energy. There are a lot of reasons for this - none of them particularly justifiable. So I was surprised by Cain - for a long time I had not seen a Solo play so convincing, so unique, so real.

innovation will not destroy this wonderful play of Beckett's. The play will always remain true to its core, the words themselves will not change - it's a question of where the director will choose to sail in his or her imagination...

The musical A CHORUS LINE is coming to Israel in a huge production of the Cameri Theater with a cast of 20 actors, singers and dancers including Maya Dagan, Dana Frieder and Yehezkel Lazarov!

In Israel, the theater has become an old people's home. Sorry for the honesty. Young people, it seems, have long ago abandoned the theater. And the reason is clear- they are afraid. King Ubu, wants to bring the young people back to the theater - and he is going to succeed.

Skirt This Is Kodkod is a show all of us need to see. And when I write all of us, I mean everyone! From boys who are going to join the army, to soldiers, and even old people too.

The play GULLIVER is based on Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. After sixteen years at sea, Lemuel Gulliver returns home. Isolated in his room, he refuses to meet anyone, and talks only with two horses that he bought on his last trip and brought back with him. He is repulsed by everything and wonders about the fate of the human species.

There are two actors, with the male actor playing seven roles. A lonely woman in her thirties, Liselotte, realizes that the years are passing by without a partner, and desperately tries to get herself a man by various means. Through no fault of her own, each of her prospective partners dies on the first date.

There is no theater behind them, nor a sponsor backing them - SHLOFTA is truly an independent ensemble cast. That is just part of what makes their creation so fascinating and courageous: full faith in their art.

'We wish you success', That is how the letter of the Israeli government ended, after it informed Eritrean asylum seekers held in the Holot facility that they should leave for Rwanda, otherwise they would be imprisoned in Saharonim prison indefinitely.

Let me begin this review with a confession: I am not the world's most ardent rap fan. To those who love the genre, my apologies.
