An intimate event around a shared table revisits and reconstructs stories from the Yom Kippur War in October 1973, and that of October 7, 2023. Those present and absent in the room shape the memories of past, ongoing, and future wars.
In October 2023, Yoram’s story resonated deeply, reflecting the new reality that has transformed us: a severe injury from a missile strike in 1973 divided Yoram’s life into two. His long journey of healing, driven by willpower and his love for life, led him to write a book asking: Can one truly return home?
The performance unfolds as a series of actions that change with each presentation, allowing the narrative to transform each evening. It invites both performers and the audience to gather, build a table, sit around it, and engage in a collaborative exploration of our new reality through a variety of actions, rituals, objects, and stories.
