A new Israeli play based on a screenplay by Mindi Erlich
Written by Aya Kaplan
Directed by Kfir Azulai
Bati, a young Haredi woman and mother of three, lives in Jerusalem according to a carefully ordered routine. Her world is suddenly shaken when she receives compromising photographs of her beloved husband, Leizer, in the mail and discovers that he is being blackmailed by a local gang.
The discovery upends the couple’s lives and sends Bati on a journey of awakening, self-discovery, and the search for emotional and feminine freedom.
The play was written based on a screenplay by Mindi Erlich, who grew up in Jerusalem’s Haredi community, and which became an acclaimed, award-winning film directed by Nir Bergman.
The production brings a rare Haredi female voice to the stage and reveals the human complexity behind walls of silence.
