Nostos

After Krum by Hanoch Levin
By Omri ‘Rozi’ Rosenblum & Itai Doron

Krum by Hanoch Levin is an Israeli classic. It has been staged countless times in Israel and abroad. but this version is an open adoption of the play.

like William Kentridge suggested - “Let the drama begin at the end” - we open the performance at the ending point of Levin play; When Krum's mother dies, Krum opens his computer and starts to write the first draft of his novel.

This piece is about our relationship with the place we came from.

We use Levin classic text and we mix it with contemporary writing, improvisations, documentary, masks, performance and alot of silence.

In Late Return- Nostos [Temporary Name], based on the 1975 play Krum by Hanoch Levin, we begin with reading a projection of an email sent by the manager of the Levin estate, Lihi Inbar, to theater director Itai Doron. In it, Inbar grants Doron and his co-director Omri “Rozi” Rosenblum permission to explore the iconic work, on several conditions. They must make clear to the audience that this is not Krum, but a new work based on it and they can never present this production anywhere else.
