Synopsis:
With a great sense of humour and self-mockery Ashtar delivers to us through this show her questions about her life and spirituality. She’s a Jerusalemite artist who lives in her body first. Her body is so elastic, it stretches and bends as a metaphor for her life between two countries, two languages, two cultures, between solitude and togetherness. She tells about her occupied country that is visibly crumbling in front of her eyes
and ends up inviting the manliest man in the room to participate in THE ceremony. “Under a deceptively naive appearance, this committed performance proposes to heal the world by making men cry because
“those who never cry are full of tears…”
