The Jewish Theatre of Israel and the Shazar Center present the musical play "Doña."
An gripping musical production about a woman who dared to dream big. This original musical is dedicated to Doña Gracia—Hannah Nasi—one of the most outstanding and enigmatic women in Jewish history.
Set against the dark backdrop of the Inquisition, persecution, and the tragic fate of Spanish and Portuguese Marranos, the audience is presented with an inspiring story of a courageous woman endowed with the rare gift of foresight. She dedicated her life to saving persecuted Jews and fighting for the future of her people.
The play combines songs by four outstanding poetesses who left a bright mark on the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, poignant melodies in Ladino, dramatic narration, and expressive choreography. A modern Israeli family moves to Spain, and the past of the Spanish Marranos unexpectedly intrudes into their lives, intertwining the present with events from centuries ago.
This is a story about courage, self-identity, belonging, faith, and hope. It is the story of a people who have sought refuge and safety throughout the ages, seen through the eyes of one woman who dared to dream and change the course of history.
