1. Kafka, the show. On the centenary of Kafka’s death, the Jaffa Theater
In a letter written to his father, a successful businessman, the son, Franz Kafka begs for his blessing for the path he has chosen, to become a writer. But not only is his plea not accepted, the father despises his choice. The father’s regime of terror under which Franz grew up was full of insults. One of them that was thrown at him was “creep” in response, Franz Kafka writes the story “Metamorphosis”. And every other word will be a spoiler…
The play “Kafka” adapted and directed by Yossi Yazraeli will be staged at the Jaffa Theater. 9.4 at 19:30, 20.5 at 20:30, page of the show.

2. Epic 15. The International Festival for Culture and Art Films
“Epic”, the international festival for culture and art films will be held for the 15th time, with dozens of films from Israel and the world premiering in Israel. The festival that will begin on April 23 will be opened by the film “Their Stage”, which brings to the screen an amazing group of theater actors, all of whom have special needs in preparation for the staging of a play, which is a colorful fairy tale that ranges between reality and fiction. The magic of the theater goes into the depth of a documentary, a baroque drama with colorful and exciting cinematic scenes.
The festival will close on April 27 with a cinematic and sensual celebration “Saura’s Carmen”, screening a new copy of the successful film from 1983 (which was nominated for an Oscar), a reminder of the great talent of the Spanish director Carlos Soara, on the anniversary of his death. Among the performers in it, besides the giant Antonio Gades, are also the dancer Cristina Hoyos and the virtuoso guitarist Paco de Lucia, who bring to the screen a modern version of Carmen in the flamenco rhythm. During the festival, dozens more films will be screened that present the people and stories that changed the world. From architecture, literature to music, video dance works by graduates of Sapir College, a track of Israeli classic films from the national canon, Yasmin Kini with a track of musical film treasures and more.

4. “Asana for a moment, meditative breathing in contemporary reality”, exhibition, Eretz Israel Museum
At the end of the week, the exhibition “Asana for a moment” was launched at the Eretz Israel Museum, which was born out of the contemporary reality in Israel, and as a response to the need for a break
And by moving away from the painful and threatening “here and now” – towards the abstract, soothing and healing for the soul. An exhibition that offers an expression of calmness, balance and daydreaming, if only for a moment in daily reality in Israel. The exhibition “Osana for a moment, meditative breathing in contemporary reality” is an expression of calmness, balance and daydreaming even for a moment in daily reality in Israel. The name of the exhibition is taken from the world of yoga and meditation. The word “asana” which means posture, is derived from the Sanskrit root “as” which means “to stay” / “to be” / “to stand in a certain position”.
24 artists participate in the exhibition including: Liat Elbeling, Yoram Bozaglo, Uri Gersht, Daganit Brest, Merav Himan, Miriam Kabsa, Siglit Landau, Ran Selvin, Hila Amram and others, who create a unique rhythm of works of sound, color and form. As part of the exhibition, Ran Selvin’s video installation Heaven Now (2) is shown, created as a space-adapted video installation that will be projected in the glass blower space at the Adam and Amlo Center in the Eretz Israel Museum. The installation is built from projections and sound in a dark exhibition space, and is part of the series of works Heaven Now.

“The exhibition presents a range of works, mainly video and photography works, each of which in its own way creates a quiet and benevolent space, inclusive and empathetic, through sound, light and movement. Most of the works are abstract and their meaning is claimed in the possibility of producing a meditative experience,” says Raz Samira, Deputy Director of the Eretz Israel Museum and Chief Curator.
