Israel festival

The program kicks off at the Sherover Auditorium of the Jerusalem Theatre at 5 p.m. on September 26, continuing through to 4 p.m. on the morrow.

The initiative will debut at the Israel Festival, featuring performances by budding talents alongside established artists.

As the season’s blazing heat takes its final bow, and the first whispers of fall’s cooler breeze make their debut, Jerusalem throws lively end-of-summer celebrations, offering something for everyone.

The festival sets out “to do what art and creation know so well to do – to create a space where complexity, multifaceted thought, and imagination can coexist in unison,” artistic directors state.

The work is on the current Israel Festival roster, with performances set for the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio auditorium on August 9, 10, and 11.

The project’s background bumf puts the philosophy into neat evocative parlance. “One man’s junk is everyone’s treasure,” whatever that treasure may be.

Alexandrovsky hopes Short Term will have a lasting, positive, and enlightening effect on his audiences. 

The secret and beauty of such exercises as tai chi, el halev, or krav maga is the fact that they use military language to effect a peaceful resolution.

The festival is set to run August 1-11 at three locations around the capital – Independence Park, the Jerusalem Theatre, and the Jerusalem Arts Campus.

The ongoing political unrest throughout the country infuses the program of the 2023 Israel Festival, taking place August 1-11.

Romano, Shalom Hanoch and Mati Caspi, Hemi Rudner, Yael Deckelbaum, Beri Sacharoff and Evyatar Banai are among those performing in the three-day lineup
