Introducing Shmulik Shohat's THE DYBBUK: Between Two Worlds first produced by Israel's National Theater, Habimah

The classic story of two lovers that are torn apart by the bride's father, that chooses to wed her to a wealthy man. Her broken-hearted lover dies.

The beloved girl, that cannot be without her love, cries over his grave, and begs for his return – he returns to her as a spirit (the dybbuk), and holds onto her on her wedding day. She is taken to a Rabbi that after a battle succeeds in exorcising the dybbuk. The bride, seeing the spirit of her love leaving, sees no reason to live, and follows him into the next world where there is a place for them together.

"The combination of puppets and humans not only brings a humorous, jesting spirit to the familiar story, but also manages to soar to romantic heights at critical moments...

A sophisticated parody full of love and yearning to the origin... which rediscovers the old story's primal magic and turns the Dybbuk into a living, moving theatrical reality."

Norma Jean meets Marilyn Monroe in this sparkling, powerful and

fascinating portrait of an icon, directed by Gareth Armstrong.

"A fascinating Monroe in every detail."
