"In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes".
By Roy Chen
Based on a novel by Ze'ev Jabotinsky
Directed by Noam Shmuel
In a dark historical period when "there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes" - a new leader emerges named Samson - a warrior, a judge, a nazirite.
Delilah, the daughter of a handmaid, fall in love with Samson, but as it is written in the Song of Songs: Love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave.
In this thrilling story of the life of this land, myth intertwines with ethos, destruction with eros, and personal fate with the fate of a people.
Jabotinsky drew parallels between the period of the Judges and the British Mandate, but the book proves no less relevant to our own times.
First performance: September 25th, 2024
Duration: 2 hours and 15 minutes with intermission.
