Abyss

An apocalyptic satire for two actors and a piping system

A collaboration with Hila Flashkes

An Israeli nuclear submarine gets lost at sea. The Ship's crew is a grotesque reflection of Israeli society, including a representative of almost every minority and sector. The Ships' crew desperately attempts to achieve strategic goals and to save themselves and the country while they are being constantly manipulated by chaotic political forces. The different characters are built from sewerage pipe parts that are dismantled and reconstructed during the show, thus symbolizing the way the characters are influenced by each other and form an inseparable (and potentially dysfunctional) body.

The show was supported by the Israel Puppet Center Holon. It was presented at The Festival of Puppet Theater and Film, Holon, 2023; and at the Train Theater during the Jerusalem Puppet Festival, 2023.
