On October 20, 2020, the Arab-Hebrew Theater in Jaffa will present a protest of "Umm Kulthum" starring Galit Giat, in the open-air theater plaza, in front of several dozen people.

This is in protest of the paralysis of the world of culture in the days of Corona (PR)

The Arab-Hebrew theater in Jaffa last night staged the play "Umm Kulthum" directed by Yigal Ezrati and starring Galit Giat, in the open-air theater plaza, in front of several dozen people wearing a mask.

According to government guidelines, cultural events are now not allowed outside as well, but the theater staged it as a protest show "due to the growing distress of artists and technicians who were left without a horizon."

Police arrived at the scene, and the theater staff explained to them that it was a demonstration and continued the play.

Although the police did not disperse the crowd, they informed the theater that he would receive a report, which will probably stand at 5,000 shekels. The theater's director Yigal Ezrati said that he did not intend to pay the fine and that he would go to court. Consult with legal counsel on the matter.

"We are protesting against the treatment of culture," he told Walla!

Culture The director of the theater and the director of the play, Yigal Ezrati.

"Culture is currently pushed to the bottom of the list in the exit plan, after hotels, after saunas, after kollels, after restaurants. We are in last place. We claim that culture is not a marginal thing. It is not a luxury. It is a drug of life, like food. Without culture there is no life. We need to understand the human need for culture as a clinic for depression. We feel that culture has been forgotten. So we did this and called it a protest for culture. We brought in dozens of actors and technicians who have been out of work for months, some freelancers who get no money. "The audience missed the performances. At the moment there is a disregard for the culture and we want to shout the artists' cry. People are tired of the zoom."

"We will not pay it, we will go to court. We called it a protest demonstration. In a protest demonstration it is possible 50 people. People were isolated, 2 meters away, we measured heat, the whole crowd was left with masks all the time, and we did it in the open air. So my conscience is quiet about health. "The fine is not appropriate. One of the policemen who arrived in the evening told me that it did not look like a protest but looked like a performance. Our performance is our protest. The finance minister has long said that there will be NIS 200 million in support for culture, but only now have they called for applications."
