Director Yair Sherman bewitches his Generation-Z audience with his Generation-Z interpretation, and merges a political drama with a sharp satire about a young generation that prefers to sit back and not take sides in the political events that threaten to alter Denmark\u2019s values. At the heart of the production lies a passion for theatre that uncovers hopes, anguish, and fears, all of which are the basic patterns for our family life and our society. It is a theatrical evening full of surprises, twists, and inventions. The Beit Lessin ensemble leads the audience on a riveting journey of cultural associations and exciting discoveries. It\u2019s relevant, it\u2019s beautiful, it\u2019s funny \u2013 and it forces us to rediscover what we have almost forgotten: that high art can be communicative, and that with the right communication, we can elevate ourselves to become more human, rather than less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/884440083?h=b889c3b91e&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"728\" height=\"410\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Yair Sherman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an award-winning theatre director, and one of the most promising fresh voices in Israeli theatre today.
