"Ittai's Palace" by Rachel Erdos
A child's room is the center of his universe... "Ittai's Palace" invites the audience to come and meet Ittai in his private room. Together with a new friend named Amit, the audience will discover a new world within the four walls of his room. In a "palace" made of colorful lights, the two characters will explore ideas and thoughts on rooms, homes, and family, discussing the people who live in their house and their relationships with them, their favorite foods, and their secret fantasies about dream homes they know from stories, legends, and movies. Through movement, singing, text, and humor, the performers bring the concept of 'home' to life.
The piece is accompanied by a soundtrack featuring songs by Arik Einstein, creating a bridge between fantasy and reality that children often walk on.
