Israeli culture is back to LIVE in the Netherlands!

As life gradually returns to normal, we are excited to present four unique live cultural events on stages in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, The Hague and Rotterdam. All shows are in Hebrew or English, with translation into English or Dutch. All venues are safe and secure.

Oh, God! has been applauded by audiences in Israel and worldwide over the past 13 years.
Here in the Netherlands we will perform an original production, with an Israeli-Dutch cast and with a surprising twist.

Eli, a 40 years old single father and psychologist receives a mysterious phone call from a new and desperate patient, insisting on meeting him immediately. When she arrives, it turns out that she is none other than God, and in a very bad state. Clinically depressed, she wants to put an end to this whole thing called existence. Eli has one hour to change her mind and save the world.

This comedy examines our perceptions of God and her fickle relationship with the humans she created.

Hebrew, with Dutch surtitles.

A young timid playwright is invited by a neurotic, Hamlet-obsessed national theatre manager to discuss his debut play. When art meets production value things are never easy, but nothing could prepare this young man for the zany ride he is about to take. As the room becomes crowded with ghosts from the past, skeletons from the closet and other revived clichés, the thin border between conscious and subconscious, theatre and real-life, explodes in a ground-breaking climax.

75 minutes

Directors and actors – Iftach Ophir and Erez Drigues

Music – Ran Bagano
