Twenty Two Pictures

Wins the best show in Acre Festival of Alternative Israeli Theater 2008.

 

Twenty Two Pictures

This place was called home. And it had a window on which children were fed.And a rain of fries. God runs wild with toffees, and all the while Mother is taking a shower. But migraines can’t be cured by household bleach.

Twenty and two pictures from the lives of three women: grandmother, mother and daughter.

 

“A literary work, full of drama and humor which describes the world of a young girl, third generation of the Holocaust, who grows up in between two previous generations- grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, and her mother. In a segmental and theatrical language which includes the pain of growth and loss, the actresses succeed in exciting the audience and give them a deep and true experience.”

(From the judges’ reasons in choosing the winner show in Acre Festival 2008)

 

 The play takes place in the ancient space of the halls of the knights inAcre, on the three levels of the space, which echo the three characters who take part in the play.

 

From the reviews:

 

“A very sensitive play… surprising poetry.”

(Shay Bar Ya’cov, “Yediot achronot”)

 

“Actresses who succeed in exciting the audience and give them a deep and true experience.”

(Judges team of Acre Festival)                                                         

 

“A rare glance to a hidden world”

(Ynet)
