Suspicious Incident

Year2016
VenueTmunah Theater, Tel Aviv — Working Group Theater Ensemble

Shmuel Bloom is stabbed by his wife and lies dead beneath his dumbfounded children. Adina cannot explain this unexpected murderous act, yet implores her kids to save her from going to jail.

After short deliberations, they throw their father's body near a settlement in the Palestinian West Bank. The incident is identified as a terrorist act — Adina becomes a tragic media figure, and her husband is celebrated as a patriot martyr.

The Blooms are revered as national celebrities and gradually become addicted to the deceit. They lose control of the fantasy they invented and embrace a twisted existence that loses its grip on reality.
