A Man in His Life

Description

A musical and theatrical journey based on the beloved poetry of Yehuda Amichai. The show incorporates poetry reading, theatrical scenes based on Amichai’s poems, personal stories, and biographical turning points in his life: his childhood in Germany, coming to Israel as a child, his recruitment to the Palmach, his life in Jerusalem, the loves of his life, his thoughts about writing, and more.

Yehuda Amichai is recognized as one of Israel’s finest poets. His poems — written in Hebrew — have been translated into forty languages. Among his many other honors and awards, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
Emanuella Amichai — director and actress, Amichai’s daughter — will read from her father’s poems and share personal stories and memories from their household.
