ISRAEL ONSTAGE 2!

An examination of Israeli society through its reflection on stage

The Banality of Love
by Savyon Liebrecht
July 7

Banality of Love sits us down with aging philosopher Hannah Arendt near the end of her life, anxious for a chance at reconciliation with Israel. A hot-headed Israeli interviewer presses her to examine her unrepentant love affair with German philosopher and Nazi sympathizer Martin Heidegger, evoking memories of a life long love story of the body and mind, which powerfully shaped her. Nevertheless, she awakens to its own banality.

Plonter
by Yael Ronen & Ensemble
July 14

Created by an ensemble of Arab and Jewish Israelis, Plonter (meaning "tangle") is a collage of sketches that both send chills up your spine and make your body shake with laughter, capturing the diverse and parallel experiences of people on both sides of the "fence", brutalized and dehumanized by the Second Intifada. Its pathos and satirical humor are ultimately humanizing, leaving one aching for the children, young and younger who bear the cost of the protracted conflict.



Women's Minyan
by Naomi Ragen
June 30

There is rarely a Women's Minyan in the Haredi (ultra-orthodox) community, but Chana Sheinhoff empowers one when she challenges 10 women to truly listen and honestly judge her. Her claims of domestic violence are blasphemous to the entire community and the women chart a challenging course, torn by loyalties, hidden wounds and strict social codes.

In Israel, theatre is a cultural necessity and a key forum for self reflection. These three Israeli plays will take us on journeys with complex characters through controversial issues. Each play challenges assumptions, ultimately awakening understanding and humanity. We will gain an appreciation for Israeli drama and a deeper understanding of the complexity of the modern Israeli experience.
