Sunday night's theater production pf Plufenbach and Zufenheim (I may have spelled that wrong, but it doesn't matter) was done in "german" doubletalk (see Sid Caesar explaining and doing this at http://www.sidcaesar.com/vidclips.html ) with a few humorous translations into Hebrew. I didn't know i was lost until 15 minutes before the end.

Monday afternoon's free concert was in complete contrast to the previous week's presentation of modern Israeli music. Last week it was interesting to hear the composers explain what they were trying to do, and once or twice i had the feeling of understanding they had done it -- rather like Sunday's play. This week's concert was the sort of classical music that seems very clear, though I expect the composers could have explained depths I miss on an intellectual level.

Two hours after the concert ended we were back at the Jerusalem Theater for a dance performance, Srul. First time I'd seen a bucyle and multiple walkers used in a dance performance. There were program notes, but I could have used supertitles explaining each scene. Nevertheless pleasurable.

Row 9A may be the best in the Sherover Theater.
