Eshet

T061202463
Echoing the treatment of women in many societies today, Eshet is a powerful drama that mixes puppetry and movement to denounce male oppression and the harshness of laws concerning women. Conceived, directed and designed by Elit Veber, five life-size puppets and their human doubles play out the Old Testament story of Tamar, a young widow forced by convention to marry one of her dead husband's brothers. Originally created for the Acco Festival, Israel's leading alternative theatre season, Eshet was most recently seen in Europe at the Mimos Festival in 2009.
