In an interview with Walla!
Culture In June 2016, Arieh said, among other things: "I think over the years we have tried to create live and serious theater, and not just engage in entertainment. We understand that the highest demand is for entertainment theater, so our lives are really not simple. We constantly find ourselves a bit against the wind. .In this unique way of ours I believe we have created some very good plays. When young actors come to the theater, and I hear from them that in their youth they saw our plays and that's why they became interested in theater, it really warms my heart. "At a time like mine, I'm told that in some mental and spiritual sense our performances have helped them survive the uncomplicated aliyah and absorption, it's very heartwarming. And that's what gives me strength to keep going. Although sometimes the sequel seems really impossible."
