(Haipo) – In a festive ceremony held on the stage of the "Rovina" Hall at the Habima National Theater, the Yehoshua Rabinowitz Arts Foundation presented its annual awards to Israel's most prominent theater creators. The evening was centered on director Moshe Kaptan, CEO and Artistic Director of the Haifa Theater, who won the Director's Award for his work on the musical "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."
Closing the Circle: From "Habima" to the Haifa Theater and Back to the Stage
The ceremony was held immediately after the conclusion of the musical "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," and centered on director Moshe Kaftan, who won the Omri Nitzan Director's Award for his directing work on the musical. For Kaftan, who currently serves as the CEO and Artistic Director of the Haifa Theater, the win marks a symbolic and exciting milestone: Exactly one year after he ended his role as Artistic Director of "Habima" and moved on to lead the Haifa institution, he is being recognized for the huge production that became one of the hallmarks of his time at the National Theater. The production of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" dominated the evening without question, and in addition to the directing award, the musical team was also awarded the Yaakov Agmon Performance of the Year Award, presented by Gila Almagor-Agmon.
Additional awards were presented at the ceremony.
As part of the ceremony, additional awards were presented in various categories. The Shmulik Segal Actor Award was presented to Joy Rieger for her role in "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" and to Yechezkel Lazarov for his role in "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." The Anat Gov Playwright Award was presented to Gilit Kozva for the play "Angels in White." The selection of the captain for the award is another seal of his status as one of the most influential directors in the local and international cultural field. These days, he continues to focus his work at the Haifa Theater, with the production of the musical "The Diary," which brings together Gila Almagor, Roni Dalumi, Noam Kleinstein, Dudu Fischer and Dafna Dekel on one stage.
