Habima Theater presented today (Tuesday) what they call the "National Theater Outline for a Partial Return to Routine," which includes a return to rehearsals and a broadcast by digital means. The theater does not intend to open without obtaining official approval from the government.

Habima's artistic director Moshe Kaftan said at a press conference: "From March 13, the theater is closed and the actors are at home. In order not to leave them at home, we will go out with 8 new productions - five Israeli plays, two classics and a single-player play. For twenty people. Each production in a capsule, under the guidelines of the purple character. The productions will be ready in 6 to 8 weeks. A digital platform will be opened and the performances will be filmed. However, the digital alternative is not a substitute for the theatrical experience. "Possibility to create a traveling theater on the streets of Tel Aviv. More than seventy theater actors return to work, create and make art."

The classics that will be performed are Shakespeare's Hamlet" directed by Or Zaguri and "Dreyfus" directed by Omri Nitzan.

Habima CEO Noam Semel said: Invest in the work, go back to rehearsals and take pictures. We will do it in minimal conditions. The layout is ours, the work they can not stop. They can stop the gathering. Until now we have not been able to convince the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health, they do not let us open the halls. One hundred theaters open in the world. With us - Nada, no. We are not allowed to enter the Rubina hall which has 920 seats even 100 people. No permission to enter an audience. Everything is closed and closed. Habima will respect the law, it will not open without permission. "

Guy Maroz, whose satirical play will begin rehearsals, said at the press conference: "On the way here I heard that a plane will leave for Bulgaria tomorrow. It is very important. There are not even profits on the plane. I think it is very important for someone to hit art in Israel so we know how weak we are. That in all places people gather except in culture. "
