The Gigolo from the Congo

Habima Theatre

Sketches and songs by Hanoch Levin 

Director: Tamar Keenan
Music: Dafna Keenan
Cast: Igal Naor, Israel Katorza, and Miki Kam
Musicians: Ohad Ben Avi and Kosta Kaplan

Three stage titans – Miki Kam, Israel Katorza, and Igal Naor – bring to life a sparkling collection of sketches and songs by Hanoch Levin, Israel's towering playwright, in an unforgettable evening of theatre. The performance swings between laughter and tears, the ridiculous and the sublime, and between dark desires and impossible dreams that veered off course somewhere between the Congo and Dizengoff Street. 

Reminisce, be moved, and rediscover the magic that made Levin's sketches Israeli classics. Kam, Katorza, and Naor share one stage to tell you about life, death, and everything in between. So sit back, suffer a little, laugh a lot; after all, you don't really have better plans… 

The evening includes brief moments of happiness and prolonged periods of disappointment.
