A young Israeli dancer encounters a family crisis during a relatives' gathering in Berlin. Their dialogue across years of silence reveals the history of a Jewish family in Germany and connects different generations. The contrast between past and present is conveyed through a blend of drama and humor. The performance explores themes of memory, identity, and mutual forgiveness.
Beit Lessin Theatre presents: Glass Wall
A young Israeli dancer begins a new life in Berlin that includes a successful career and a secret pregnancy. In Petah Tikva, she leaves behind her brother Netzach and her mother Vicky, who has refused to speak to her for two years. One day, Vicky surprises her and arrives in Berlin to fulfill her father's unconventional will—the grandfather of the dancer and Netzach. Soon the family members are swept into a whirlwind that reveals, with much humor and pain, their own past and that of the Jews in Germany, along the way drawing in a young German ticket agent and a local museum director at the site of annihilation. A dramatic comedy about the second generation, the third generation, and what remains of the first generation...
