The Cameri Theater: "The Father"

A human drama (or black comedy) of rare beauty by Florian Zeller, starring Dvir Bendek: André is a man around 60. He is an engineer, perhaps a dancer. He has two daughters, or maybe one. He lives in his own home—or perhaps he lives in his daughter’s home with her partner. He has a very precise wristwatch, but his internal clock has been damaged; it is called dementia. Elad Theatre, in collaboration with the Cameri Theatre, in a new production.

The Father, starring Dvir Bendek, is a human drama (or black comedy) of rare beauty and truth, one that will make you leave the theatre and hug the people you love tightly. Brilliantly, with great humor and compassion, the play manages to bring us, the audience, into André’s mind. Unlike in a regular play, we do not watch him from the outside; instead, we experience the fractured and chaotic reality through his eyes.

Together with André, the audience tries at every moment to piece together the story of his life as it falls apart and is rebuilt. The threads sometimes connect and sometimes absolutely do not; people, places, times, and events intermingle in our minds as we search for an anchor. This is a story about memory, relationships, longing, and the great human spirit found within each of us, no matter what we lose along the way. This immersive, award-winning play by French playwright Florian Zeller is presented in major theatres around the world, quickly became a contemporary classic, and was adapted into an Oscar-winning film.
