Clearing the Head

Clearing the Head Local elections are on the horizon, and the veteran, hard-nosed mayor Moshe Schwartzman is worried that no candidate dares to run against him. Without an opponent there is no campaign, and without a campaign the donors' wallets stay shut. Besides, people might call him a dictator, and he, of course, holds democracy sacred. So what to do? To create the appearance of a fair election, he must find a fictitious candidate, one "whom only his own family would vote for, and even they'd think twice". When the cleaner enters the office and starts cleaning, it is clear to everyone that the perfect candidate has been found. The cleaner's name is Ilana. And she is here to stay! A sharp and moving comedy about a determined woman who can't stand the sight of dirt. The show includes a loud bang, sirens and flashing lights. Poster photo: Ohad Romano | design: Shane Horowitz.
