A child’s room is the center of his universe…
Itai’s Palace invites the audience to meet Itai in his private room. Together with a new friend named Amit, the audience will discover a new world within the four walls of his room.
Inside a “palace” made of colorful lights, the two characters explore ideas and thoughts related to rooms, homes, and families. They talk about the people who live in their homes and their relationships with them, the foods they most enjoy eating, and their secret fantasies about dream homes they know from stories, fairy tales, and films.
Through movement, singing, text, and humor, the performers bring the concept of “home” to life. The work is accompanied by a soundtrack composed of songs by Arik Einstein, creating a bridge between fantasy and reality—a bridge children often walk across.
