A touching story about a boy from a Jewish town in his first encounter with the exciting and challenging forces of social outcasts, sexuality, and death. A story about a society trapped in its fears that banishes from its midst all manifestations of difference.
Humor and pain, the two main elements of Shalom Aleichem's work, are very prominent in "The Creature," which is one of his most disturbing and revealing stories.
After the show there will be a discussion with its creators about the process of adapting the story for the stage.
"Done with great skill ... Nuanced and moving performances by all the actors ... Surrealistic situations on stage ... a fantasy about Eros and death." Sarit Fuchs, Maariv
