How do the experiences of combat and military reserve service transform into a theatrical language?  Over the past year, eight professional creators—actors, directors, and musicians returning from extended reserve duty—gathered at Micro Theatre to explore this question. The result is 'LOADING' (Ibud Havayot): a raw theatrical performance navigating the space between pain and laughter, memory and imagination.

The work presents a mosaic of characters and situations born from the artists' collective psyche: from a ticklish terrorist to a 'Barbie' in the service of Hezbollah; from a therapist aided by the souls of fallen friends to an intelligence officer grappling with everyday anxieties. Through black humor and striking imagery, the performance seeks to articulate what often remained unspoken amidst the chaos of the last two years.

This production is the first fruit of the "Front Stage" incubator (in memory of Ayala Cohen), a unique project utilizing the power of art to process Israel's complex reality. We invite you to a candid and profound encounter, offering an uncompromising look at the figure of the artist-soldier in Israel today.
