Jockalina Ballerina and the Soccer Dancers

"The Dream Show of Juklina Ballerina and the Football Dancers"

Juklina Ballerina is a supreme dancer. She dreams of dancing on stage with the most famous dance troupe in New York. But there's a problem: Juklina is a cockroach, so she's not accepted into the troupe. Disappointed, Juklina returns home. There, in the sewer, an unexpected meeting with the unsuccessful cockroach football team is going to change her life.

The show is a humorous dance performance about the unexpected ways in which dreams come true. It is the result of a unique collaboration between author Ynet Levi ("The Adventures of David Arieh," "When Grandpa Elijah Was Little") and choreographer Inbal Oshman.

Ynet Levi is one of the most beloved children's authors in Israel. His works include series like "The Adventures of David Arieh," "When Grandpa Elijah Was Little," "Teacher Drora Isn't a Monster," "Princess Abigail and the Emotion Factory," and more. His books have received awards and have been translated into more than 10 languages. Levi is also a stage artist, screenwriter, and playwright.

Inbal Oshman, a choreographer and dancer, is the recipient of the Ministry of Culture Award for 2018. She creates dance for the stage, cinema, and public spaces. Her works have been featured at leading festivals and cultural centers in Israel and around the world and have received critical acclaim and audience admiration.
