The green note for children - for the first time
The Haifa International Festival for Children's Plays The festival that will be held in Pesach 29/3-31/3/21 will be the first swallow to open the world of culture to children, by expanding the conditions of the green note for children under the age of 16, by a quick corona test in the area next to the festival, that is Subject to and in accordance with the outline of the Ministry of Health.
The festival management will be a pioneer in opening up the world of culture. The decision stems from a deep responsibility for the spiritual and cultural world of the children and to fill cultural gaps and gaps in the dramatic year that has passed for the young culture-seeking generation.
The festival adjusts the amount of the audience in accordance with the current rules for maintaining culture, in coordination with companies for quick corona tests. The time of the inspection will be synchronized with the time of the ordered show.
Five original plays in the competition
From the hundreds of proposals submitted in the early stages of the competition, five source plays were chosen for the competition at the 31st International Children's Play Festival.
The artistic committee headed by Roy Segev, the artistic director of the festival, includes Yifat Zandani Zafirir, Adina Chaimis and Uri Orien, chose shows that stood out in a distinct way, with a unique and rich theatrical language. The plays that were selected received support and artistic accompaniment and will have their world premiere at the festival.
Nitza Ben Zvi, CEO of the Haifa Theater:
I am happy that the Haifa Theater will be the pioneer in opening the world of culture to children, during the entire period of the Corona crisis, the basic and important needs of the children, critical to the spirit and soul of the child, were ignored. That is why the immediate decision to celebrate Passover and return to the sane world of culture is the good news for parents today.
Roi Segev, artistic director of the Haifa Festival:
The emphasis in choosing the shows is first and foremost - enriching the world and imagination of the children who have been at the heart of the festival for over three decades. On a personal level, as someone who started his journey at the festival as a young director, I am excited to open my first year as its artistic director. I welcome the wonderful opportunity - to stand at the forefront of such a significant cultural institution as the Haifa International Festival of Children's Plays.
The Haifa Theater produces the Haifa International Children's Play Festival at the initiative and with the support of the Haifa Municipality, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Lottery.
The conduct of the rapid tests for children:
- The festival management recruits a professional management and control team from the planning, establishment, accompaniment and control of the event.
- The testing complex will be located near the festival complex but with complete separation.
- The production of the festival will increase the array of ushers in order to prevent gatherings in the testing complex.
- The rapid test kits are approved by the Ministry of Health.
- A digital invitation will be sent to the subjects in advance according to their show times.
- A test takes only about 2 minutes. The result will be sent to mobile within 15 minutes.
- The test is valid for 48 hours.
- Safe transfer of the answers to the Ministry of Health.
- Entry to the festival complex will only be possible upon presentation of a proper inspection confirmation message.
As we know, the audience that comes to the theater respects and behaves responsibly while adhering to the rules.
A responsible audience combined with advanced technology guarantee the success of the event.
Due to audience occupancy limits in the halls, the festival will be hybrid and will allow children who will not be able to make it to the festival to purchase tickets for the original productions on VOD for online viewing.

The show unfolds a wonderful story of friendship between Yeftah Neuland the moshavnik and Suzy Azoulai who lives in the next door. Suzi and Petah symbolize the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures in the melting pot policy of the early days of the state.

"Toto and Friends"
A show inspired by the series of books by the illustrator and author Orit Bergman.
In the book, space is tight and there is always no room for the characters, because: La La the bird and Toto the Pilon like to go wild, Michael the snail never arrives on time, La La dresses up as a tigress and scares everyone and Toto floats on a flying ice cream... what a b-l-g-n!
Mazal Sharotm, the actress, is everyone's friend, helps, arranges, laughs and tells and even celebrates her birthday!
A show full of imagination and heart, for one virtuoso actress with lots of hands and lots of puppets.
The show is based on the characters from the book "My Home" by the writer and illustrator Orit Bergman, who will participate in the "Pajama Library for Little Ones" program in 2015 555.
