Government Of Fools
Bouffon site-specific spectacle, 2001
The inspiration for the show was the instability of the political system in Israel, and the fact that in the six years after the Rabin assassination, there were four elections and four governments…
The show criticized the political game known to all, in which the principal beneficiaries are the politicians! And civilians … again remained unhappy until next time. The work process was done together with 3rd year students of the School of Visual Theater in Jerusalem. The audience was invited to elect in real time the ultimate Prime Minister, from the candidates: Minister of spirituality, beauty Minister, Minister of dreams, the Justice Minister, Minister of liberation and Minister of love … The campaign ended with a new prime minister and government, ministers who rob the national coffers, until a vote of non-confidence and execution of the leader takes place, and again a new election campaign… no news under the sun…
