A Handbook for the Israeli Theater Director in Europe | In englischer Sprache
In the organizer's words:
The performances will take place at the Theaterhaus Stuttgart!
Two Israeli directors decide to embark on a frightening mission: To offer a play about their neurotic, half-mad and increasingly totalitarian, yet beloved homeland. Reality overtakes any crazy fiction when, in the middle of their preparations, terror and war break out on October 7th and everything they think they know about life in Israel/Palestine is turned upside down.
How do you pack war and macchiato, self-absorption and cynical detachment, hope and despair and an international conflict or two into a compact entertainment format? Ido Shaked and Hannan Ishay tell their invented story about a very contemporary reality.
Press reviews of the world premiere at the wortwiege festival in the Wiener Neustädter Kasematten:
"Cardboard boxes with dates written large on them, a soccer, two armchairs and a horse - the latter a prop from another play - that's all Ido Shaked and Hannan Ishay need to set off extraordinary stage fireworks. ... After just a few moments on stage, it becomes clear that Ido and Hannan throw their arguments at each other, peppered with plenty of humor and side-swipes, at such a pace that you are happy to hear their easily understandable English. Supertitles or subtitles would be completely pointless in this constellation, but their conversation is so well paced that even audiences who don't speak English on a daily basis have no difficulty following them. ... As difficult as the situation in their home country is and as hard as it may be to believe that an evening about Israel can be staged in a peppery, spicy way that offers the audience the highest level of entertainment, the endeavor is plausible. ... Predicate: Absolutely worth seeing!" - European Cultural News, 12.3.2024
