Yael Levantal in a stand-up show

Theater and television actress, known from TV shows "HaChayim Ze Lo Hakol" (Life Isn't Everything), "Akhorei HaHadashot" (Behind the News), "Lo Lifnei Hayeladim" (Not Before the Children) and many theater performances, presents a stand-up show from the perspective of a mother of three children who herself is still a child. Ya'el brings her life to the stage but essentially reflects our own lives, as we are not brave enough to admit they really are. In the show, Ya'el touches on all areas of life, including marriage and family, without fear of what is right or wrong to say; in her opinion, for example, the biggest problem in raising children is that there is no longer the option of boarding school, which keeps everyone at home with no ability to get rid of anyone. Generally, according to Ya'el, life is daily survival. In the age of social media, when everyone tries to show how perfect their lives are, she dares to look at life with sober, honest, and above all, funny eyes. In a reality where a woman is a partner, and if not, producer, driver, cook, breadwinner, actress, contractor, and coach—all because she has no choice—standing alone on stage in front of hundreds of people and making them laugh is the easiest and most wonderful thing in the world.
