Strengthening the relationship between theater and the surrounding community

This project invited the artists and audience to leave the theater hall and wander the streets, garden paths, and alleyways. These unconventional spaces enabled artists, young and old, to present pearls of original work that had no other stage. The audience was shown unique and refreshing theater in a highly unusual venue: the city’s neighborhoods. In this way, adults and children alike enjoyed an alternative theater experience.

This project was Initiated in 2005 By Dalia Yaffe Maayan and Dr. Naomi Yoeli. It was the first of its kind in Israel and inspired similar projects.

The project took place over the course of a decade in the German Colony, Yemin Moshe, Nahlaot, Mahane Yehuda market, Baka and Mesila Park neighborhoods, as well as during the International Festival of Puppet Theater in Jerusalem.
