Gesher Theater will host their 7th Annual International Theatre Festival from June 20 – 29, 2013. Three new plays fresh from the Russian stage will be performed in Israel, offering the perspective of Russian directors on the works of Hanoch Levin, Meir Shalev and Arthur Miller. The plays will be performed in Russian with surtitles in Hebrew.
Hanoch Levin’s Suitcase Packers will open the festival. A production of the Mayakovsky Theatre in Russia, staged by Alexander Koruchekov, the play revolves around several neighboring families, living out the cyles of life: birth, marriage, new birth and death, that is the best case scenario; for some there is nothing between birth and death but a long stretch of loneliness and longing. Performances will take place on June 20th & 21st at the Noga Theatre. These performances are part of the program for the International Hanoch Levin Festival taking place in Tel Aviv from June 17 – 26, 2013.
The Price, Arthur Miller’s play on family relationships and the price of furniture and other, less tangible commodities, staged by Leonid Hefetz. The performance will take place on June 22nd at the Noga Theatre.
Closing the festival will be the Fomenko Theatre production of Kansu Kansu, an adaptation Meir Shalev’s novel The Four Meals. This is one of the last productions developed under the artistic direction of the late Pyotr Fomenko, the theatre’s founder. Performances will take place on June 27, 28, & 29 at the Gesher Theatre Hangar.
