The roaches of Aloni

Last play of the great playwrights of Israel - Nissim Aloni , 'Are cockroaches in Israel " , winner of directing ( Merritt Parkhomovsky ) and virtuoso playing as part of Festival Hastav Cameri . A grandiose play clutches you in your throat .

Nissim Aloni (1926-1998) that the legendary theater critic Dr. Haim Gamzu crowned the great Israeli playwrights , managed to sweep the rest of the Israeli playwrights of the Palmach generation in his plays in the Israeli spirit that originated from the time the people of Israel was created until it was renewed in his country again . His amazing imagination , the influence of the great cultural people from the time of the classics to his generation , has been credited with creating a combination of all the elements that create a play that is immortal . His plays were not temporary , not only local , and even in the Gypsies of Jaffa ( which were not even here at the time ), he invented communities and cultures of European origins , not just local ones . His ability to blend into lyricism and intense drama , the language he wrote in which we can only dream about now, produced plays that were a great success , and sometimes a disappointment , from an audience that could not imagine the same .

Aloni's great advantage was when he was virtuoso . The text of his plays was changing all the time , even during rehearsals . For him the piece was never completely finished . This is reminiscent of Bernardo Bertolucci , the Italian director who died last week , who never took the original text into account , and made changes constantly ; As well as choosing players . Instead actor to Domenic Sande , who starred in the film "hkonformist" - Choose a stroke a young woman , not an actor , he met at a party on the eve before the start of filming - Maria Schneider , and - hop ,That was how his "last Tango in Paris" was created .

Thus Aloni , whose complex life story was so stormy and rich , left its mark in the form of many images found in words , names , and design instructions . This wonderful play that came in coffee Cameri Theater as part of Festival Hastav , a factory that welcomed the Cameri managers and festival director Gore Korn - also this play so many hints , criticism of any human society lesions here and everywhere , so that the show receives no universal status Belongs to a certain time only . Thus a playwright manages to become a cultural asset - without the help of crutches of political subjugation , and with reference to all the temporary details. What is more , he refers to his play "Are there cockroaches in Israel ? "Both to Judaism , to Christianity and to Islam .

The play is full of situations that tickle the laughter glands , and expressions that actually belong to its exclusive language , the same root in our Hebrew, while writing the plans for the "pale tracker ." The story is about a group of actors , which makes it possible to create a "performance in a play" as Shakespeare did ), to present the Jewish Messiah , the crucified Jesus and an Arab terrorist . The band shows the Via Dolorosa , through suffering , the Jewish people , has plenty of characters of all religions . The figures of the two killers who planned an attack , reminiscent of his play "Napoleon Hai Shao Dead ," could not be definitively determined whether they were Jews or Arabs .In short - really happy .

Each character in the play allows actors to improvise and express themselves so freely , as they have never been before . So light up the stage in the glow of playing wonderful Ohad Shahar his monologue is another record giant in his career , Eran Sarel as director of the band , Gad Kenar former Nazi , so convincing injury Battle of Stalingrad , Rodier Koslowsky his German accent so accurate , father Theremin bearded Jew intended to be the messiah , Dana Weinert really great C"mod" , wife of Arab terrorist ( Roy Assaf accent perfect evenings and charm ). She is a sexy seducer who occupies each one around her little finger. You should remember that she was the perfect Anne Frank until recently . Ruti Assersai is also one of the prostitutes in Munich , Assisit as a barbie . Bar Peled cute about - Karl-Heinz , Dan Shapiro about - Lot , star band with two withers , very sincere and touching with back pain causing him to retire from the band revolves world . Ezra Dagan with his pantomime charm , enriches the stage in his character , full of grace and humor . Rebecca ' La Michaeli' Queen Elizabeth was full of glory and splendor , waving her gloved hand, Will remain faithful to the original - will remain forever in the collective memory .

Queens and whores , Jews , Arabs and Christians - all of them are celebrating on this stage in this wonderful performance . All this would not have been possible had it not been for the virtuoso director of Mert Perchomowski , the adaptation he and Dori Parnes adapted as the last script of the play , the free game from the brakes of the entire cast , the original music of Boaz Black . All this - despite the narrow and small stage , which emphasizes how worthy the play to embark on a large stage , where players will not need to walk between the audience and behind him , where the grandiosity and imagination of Nissim Aloni will receive the appropriate . A show that is important to bring before all the lovers of the theater .
