When Adel and Nachum meet in a psychiatric
ward, the unthinkable becomes possible. Adel, a Palestinian schizophrenic who
is convinced that he is Jewish,meets Nachum, a backward Yeshiva (Rabbinical
college)student. The relationship between them evolves from their time
together, confined as they are by four walls, from their longing for home,
love, and God. |

The play was written by Uri Nitzan, a student at the Medical Faculty of the
Hebrew University, winner of the Harry Hirshzon prize for prose, drama,and
poetry. Spending time in the psychiatric ward inspired Nitzan to write the
play. The directing of Isaac Benabu, head of the Department of Theatre Studies
at the Hebrew University, merges the English theatrical tradition with the
collective Israeli experience. Benabu places the actor in the centre of the
artistic process.He chose a minimalist set, letting the powerful characters
draw the spectator into the action.
Actors: Shmuel Hadjes, Chaviv Mizrachi, Krisha Sobotka, Uzi
Bitton, Assi Shimony, Yael Epshtein/Shira Stern.
