(haipo) This week, the Haifa Theater hosted a large-scale photo shoot to launch the new season, an event that quickly became an impressive show of strength for the Israeli theater world. Dozens of the country's most prominent actors and actresses came to Haifa, creating a clear sense of a strong, ambitious, and confident opening to a new season that seeks to place Haifa theater back at the center of the cultural map.
An ambitious and star-studded repertoire ► Watch
Among the participants on the day of filming were a long line of stage and television stars, including Roni Dalumi, Tzipi Shavit, Yuval Sharf, Evelyn Goel, Yael Sharoni, Greinick Valterman, Sandra Sade, Edna Belilius, Moshe Ashkenazi, Galit Giat, Yarden Bracha, Dafna Dekel, Hila Saada, Zohar Strauss, Assi Levy, Ben Peri, Yehezkel Lazarov, Yiftach Klein, Yoav Bar-Lev and Amir Kriaf, alongside other actors and actresses who came to take part in the season launch.
The photography day took place near the premiere of the first play directed by Moshe Kaptan at the Haifa Theater – “Lilsada”, starring Evelyn El Goel, Hila Saada, Zohar Strauss and others. The show opens a season that seeks to be sharp, relevant and unapologetic, combining artistic daring with a deep and relevant connection to the general audience.
Moshe Captain, who took over as director of the Haifa Theater only four months ago, is already presenting a broad, diverse and particularly ambitious repertoire. The new season includes original productions alongside well-known and beloved classics, including “The Odd Couple”, “Release Nechama”, “First name”, “The Diary”, “The Master” and-“The Comedians”.
Alongside these, the theater also offers intriguing stage adaptations of Israeli cultural hits, including: “Alex is lovesick” and-“Shababnikim”, a move that expresses a conscious attempt to connect Israeli nostalgia, popular culture, and a young audience, without sacrificing depth and artistic quality.
The choice to bring the best names to Haifa and launch a season that speaks several cultural languages simultaneously reflects renewed confidence in Haifa Theater and a clear desire to return it to a leading position in the national cultural scene. Judging by the starting point, Haifa is expected to be one of the hot spots on the cultural map of the coming year.
It's sad what's happening to theater in general and to the Haifa Theater in particular.
It has long ceased to be a home for culture and art but rather a sweet entertainment house.
"Ascend and succeed" = "Let's ascend and succeed"…!!!@@@
