Theatre Company Jerusalem presents Esther.
About the show:
In a retelling which transcends time and place, Gabriella Lev’s Esther stands beside a ragtag trunk and challenges our collective memory. With pieces of velvet and silk and gold lamé she recreates the elements of a story in a voice that has a thousand faces. Lev transforms instantaneously from storyteller to performer to shaman as she seamlessly weaves her own family anecdotes as a child of Holocaust survivors into the archaic story. Thus myth collapses into reality and Esther’s ancient tale becomes a personal story.
