Have You Seen My Dog? EfraT STEinlauf

On his sixth birthday, Ben gets a sweet, little puppy. He names him Shelly and they soon become the best of friends. One afternoon, Shelly gets lost. Ben embarks on a quest to find his beloved dog and on the way, he arrives at a strange, wondrous place, called "Lost". He tries to bring Shelly back from "Lost", but fails. Shelly's imaginary persona appears before Ben, helps him deal with his absence and teaches him how to overcome any obstacle on his own. Ben realizes that Shelly will always be with him, in heart and mind. The show is performed using a physical storytelling technique, and as

part of the stage language, the theatrical mechanism of going in and out of characters is exposed before the children.

The show is full of colorful high jinks, music and physical theatre comedy, inspired by the traditional Russian clownery, leading to a surprising and highly amusing finale that will surely make both children and adults smile from ear to ear.

Regarding The Bird nEPHESH THEaTEr

“So I want to tell you a little about myself because I know that everyone thinks I’m a “strange bird”- that’s an expression that my mother uses….She sometimes uses it to explain the way people look at someone like me… what I mean “like me” is, like someone different”. Mikey is a teenager with the Asperger syndrome who tries to explain what exactly happened to the bird during recess at school which caused everyone to distance themselves from him. “Regarding the Bird” is a dynamic event that unravels and raises questions about the place

of the “other” in our society and the need to listen to and accept him.

Otherwise rOna SaPOrTa

Based on Chava Nissimov's book "A Girl from There".An extraordinary journey of consciousness takes place inside a cupboard that represents the soul's innermost sanctuary. This is a journey undertaken through fragments of memory by the adult Hava, who recalls anew, with pain and pity, what her 3 year old self saw and experienced through the Holocaust.Hava is presented by a solo performer who shares the stage with life-sized puppets and dolls, animated scenes and Nisimov's own recorded voice as she narrates her ordeal.

By combining these elements into a narrative whole, this play realigns the child's broken spirit, as she attempts to find meaning and to gain a

foothold in the crumbling world around her.

Concept & Direction: Elit Veber. artistic Guidance: Rona Saporta. narration: Chava Nissimov. actress: Rotem Goldenberg. Design: Yaara Zadok. Puppet Design: Sara Pelly.
