Posted on December 15, 2018 by admin

big promises, partial disappointment (‘Lolita / Jeanne d’Arc’ created by Yehezkiel Lazarov)

Posted on December 11, 2018 by admin

‘Lolita / Jeanne d’Arc’ is one of those performances that promise a lot but disappoint at delivery. The Gesher Theater offered the non-conventional space of its Hangar hall reserved for its more experimental productions to the actor, choreographer and  stage … Continue reading →

big children and their toys (Theater: Toys by Noam Gil at the Tmuna Theater)

Posted on December 4, 2018 by admin

The Middle East is such a volatile territory. No clear borders. No clear delimitation between politics and private lives. Between leadership and folly. Between fiction and reality. We had a good example last night with the viewing of the fringe … Continue reading →

Posted on November 29, 2018 by admin

Posted on December 16, 2015 by admin

M-am simtit in acea seara dintre putinele petrecute in scurta mea vizita bucuresteana de acum cateva zile, ca transportat si transfigurat in timp cu vreo patru decenii si mai bine in urma, in anii de vraja in care Liviu Ciulei … Continue reading →
