A new Israeli comedy by Daniel Lapin Director: Tamar Keenan Set: Adam Keller Costumes: Avia Bash Music: Dafna Keenan Lighting: Matan Perminger Assistant director: Ziv Teshuva Cast: Avi Kushnir, Efrat Arnon, Reda Kantorovich, Tom Zeidner, Lana Sabra, Yaeli Rosenblit A comedy about lost identity After his mother dies at a ripe old age, Or Auslander, a literature teacher, discovers almost by chance that she was not Jewish. What at first seems like a bureaucratic error soon becomes a fact that shakes the foundations of his family and his life. Is some deep secret hidden in his mother's past, or is it all just a mistake? Or sets out on a crazy journey that begins with a rabbinate clerk and peaks in a séance with his mother's spirit, in order to work out his true identity. A wild new comedy written by Daniel Lapin ("Four Mothers," "Between Holy and Holon," "Zehu Ze"), about the most unexpected identity crisis in the life of someone who never doubted his identity.
