"Stop shouting, Jacob! Let the dead live"!
3,500 years after being buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs, the three fathers and three mothers wake up, bickering about parenthood and marital relations, circumcision and the binding of Isaac, faith, and history. Little do they know what is happening above them in the present until they encounter reality.
An inspiring and witty story from one of Israel's most celebrated writers, Meir Shalev.
- Duration:About an hour and a half with no break
- Photography:Alexander Hanin, סרגיי דמיינצ'וק
- Remarks:The show is occasionally accompanied by sounds of explosions
With Hebrew and Russian subtitles - Reviews:"A witty and funny creation. Sensitive and talented direction. There is nothing more relevant than this play, which Shalev did not manage to watch on stage, in all its glory.
" (Haaretz)"A brilliant show, bravo to the great setting! It's a shame that his Meir Shalev didn't get to see it." (La'Isha)
