6. Never Ever Ever
Yoni runs away from school, from home, from himself. In this moving one-man play, Ben Yishai provides the audience an experience of what it’s like feeling like an outsider, feeling different, being differently-abled, yet, at the same time whole.

7. Ulysses on Bottles
With surprising humor and powerful insight, Ulysses on Bottles tells the story of two unlikely companions who meet in prison: an Israeli-Arab literature teacher nicknamed Ulysses and a successful Israeli-Jewish attorney who takes on his case pro bono. Combined, the perspectives of the two men explore the different reactions to the Middle East Conflict: the collisions of the personal and the political, morality and ambition. Evron wrestles with people living in separate realities where a life of privilege is pitted against a life of scarcity, and the story raises profound questions about absolute morality and personal freedom.
