The theatre's Artistic Director directs Itai Segal's latest play based on the terrorist attack at the Bar Noar (LGBT Center), in August 2009 in Tel Aviv. Amit Rahav (“Unorthodox” (Netflix)) stars as Jonathan, the gay son of an everyday loving family. A family, however, with secrets and wounds from the past, anxieties, and destructive prejudices. After the savage shooting, Jonathan lies unconscious at the hospital, and no one can explain to his mother what her only son was doing in a gay bar. Thus begins a family drama at the center of which is a religious 17-year-old boy, who soon finds himself forced by his family to undergo conversion therapy.
