KuSHeliRabaK

A perfect wrong night

Written and Directed by Nurit Dreamer

Lighting Design: Omer Sheizaf; Sound Design and Composition: Niv Gafni; Production and Assistant Director: Noa Itzhaki

Three girlfriends are having a barbecue while sharing sexual fantasies and advice about masturbation. In the time they spend together, they will sing pop songs, and dance folk dances. They will have talks and fights about power and womanhood. They will use gender clichés, subvert them, and cast spells.
KuSHeliRabaK (a curse word in Hebrew-Arabic) moves smoothly, delicately, and sophisticatedly between a post-cliché world of folktales and karaoke in the forest. It develops into a surprising hybrid of female empowerment circles, and an anger management workshop. This is performance theatre, a ritual, and an event that could have quickly developed into something that one might regret later; a nightly picnic that could only take place on a stage, in a place where the movement from truth to falsehood can link together filth and holiness, and renounce them, while referring to them with absolute seriousness.
