Israel's Acco Theatre Center will present the holocaust play "The Anthology: Values for the Next Millennium" in Tokyo and Kyoto.
The play is a story of Zelma, an elderly woman who survived holocaust. Only two things give her life meaning -- music and her only son with whom she has a complicated relationship. She plays the piano and tells the story of whatever occupies her -- art, meaning of life, religion, metaphysics, education, spiritual search, old age and death -- through the music. The son, who has listened to her songs about the heaviness of life for as long as he can remember, has become a lethargic and sad man.
"The Anthology" is an interactive play, where the audience members become her guests invited in to listen to her story. There are many ad-libs involved. She offers drinks and candies to some of the audience and asks them questions.
