The Appeal

show
Orly Noa Rabinyan, born in Israel to Persian parents, is an author and director based in Zurich. She will present "The Appeal," a performance developed during a residency at Neimënster. This work highlights the diversity of voices and identities while aiming to create a safe space for political discussion. "The Appeal" draws inspiration from one of the earliest public performative acts in Israeli cultural history. In 1936, under the British mandate, the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv staged an imaginary literary trial following its decision to perform "The Merchant of Venice" in Hebrew for the first time. This announcement provoked intense protests prior to its debut, prompting direct discussions: should "The Merchant of Venice" really be performed in Tel Aviv at that specific time? Leading figures involved in this debate included William Shakespeare, the Habima Theater, and director Leopold Jessner, who had recently sought asylum after fleeing Nazi Berlin.
