Drama and the Israeli/Palestinian
Conflict
Nicole Goldstein
THEA 481 Presentation
Introduction to Israeli Drama
• Israeli Theatre was non-existent until
the country’s establishment in 1948.
• Plays were mostly social dramas, using
audiences as both spectators and
participants.
• Thoughts about Israeli Theatre and
perception
The Israeli/Palestine Conflict
• Jews escaping various
religious persecutions
from other countries in
the 1900’s.
• 1947: The United
Nations divided
Palestine
• 1948: Israel declared a
state/ Israeli war of
Independence
The Israeli/Palestine Conflict
Continued
• Israel gained more territories while the Palestinians
were being forced to move away from these areas.
• 2000: When Israel was willing to hand over 95% of the
West Bank and Gaza back to the Palestinians, but
they would not agree.
Result of Conquests
Pre 19th Century 1947 1948 2005
Israeli/Palestinian Conflict Plays
Various titles including:
– An Arab Woman Speaks
– An Israeli Love Story
– My Name is Rachel Corrie
– Seven Jewish Children/Seven Other Children
– To Pay the Price
– The Trainer
– Via Dolorosa
– Wall
– What Strong Fences Make
– DAI (Enough)
*Not all of these shows were written by Israelis, but this really tells a
lot about individuals and cultures around the world and their
perspectives and feelings into this gruesome conflict.
Israeli Playwrights
Yehoshua Sobol
War of the Jews (1981)
Hanoch Levin
Murder (1998)
Israeli Playwrights Continued
• Women playwrights were not
discovered until the 1970’s.
• Focused on
– Realities of current events
– Individual responses to the national
phenomena
– War
– The Intifada (Arab terrorist groups)
Themes Written about in
Concerns with the Conflict
• Israeli Identity, particularly in the younger
crowd.
• Dehumanization
• Ethical Issues
• Personal and collective responsibility
• Framing the Palestinians as “different” and to
be considered a threat
Drama and Ideology in Modern
Israel
• The Israeli/Palestinian war is described
as nightmarish; the stage became a
discussion for these serious issues of the
conflict.
• Historical and social forces influence
the works of Jewish Theatre today.
Questions Asked of Me
• How does the perspective of theatre
and performance affect one’s outlook
on the crisis?
• Can the conflict itself be seen as
performance for the world?
• Recognition by the world for Israelis or
Palestinians?
