Storahtelling Presents
BECOMING ISRAEL
Arts & Performance, Israel
- Saturday 3:00PM–4:15PM Stardust
- Sunday 9:15PM–10:30PM Stardust
Three parallel lives intertwine to discover their shared story and their common name — Israel — "The One Who Struggles with God". Leah, a Biblical wife, meets Rachel, a Holocaust survivor, and Jake, a young American on his first trip to Israel. BECOMING ISRAEL fuses sacred scripture with contemporary stagecraft and examines the intersection between individual identity and collective memory, inviting audiences for a closer look at the legacy of Israel in a global reality.
**Please note, this session will use audio-visual equipment.
