This roller coaster moves rapidly between black humour and biting satire, between love and betrayal, nostalgia and regret. In stand-up, as in life, everything is possible. On this evening, which is Dovaleh's birthday and, apparently, his last performance, there's nothing left to lose.
After "To the End of the Land", Dror Keren – a stand-up comedian himself – steps into the shoes of Dovaleh G, the hero of David Grossman's book.
"A Horse Walks Into a Bar" has been translated into 23 languages and won the International Man Booker prize – among the most prestigious in the world - for the best novel translated into English.
"This is Dror Keren's role of a lifetime. He lives it body and soul. Bravo! A sharp, deeply human experience. This is how you turn great literature into an unforgettable play!" 5 stars *****
"Especially outstanding are the musician Eldad Lidor, who has created beautiful, delicate musical ornamentation, and the animator, Sariel Keslasi, who has put together a series of lovely black and white short films. Yigal Sacks' portrayal of the judge is human and introverted. Aya Granit-Shva as Peach, plays her sensitively, carefully, and touchingly. Yossi Yarom is convincing as the Netanya club owner."
"A fascinating, exciting play… Dror Keren is a virtuoso, precise, deep, clever, sensitive, funny, aggressive, hypnotic, on edge, and exciting, leaving the audience with their jaws hanging open. A theatrical pearl you must not miss"…
"Brave and believable… Dror Keren makes the audience believe, get excited, and live the story alongside him… worth seeing".
"A theatrical pearl, perfect stage design, great animation, and impressive acting… The Cameri's version of David Grossman's story manages to hold a bittersweet mirror for us all…"
“A theatrical gem, precise stage design, beautiful animation and excellent acting […] The Cameri Theatre’s adaptation of David Grossman's book manages to put a bitter-sweet mirror to us all.”
"...An exciting, meaningful performance… Dror Keren fulfills Grossman's dream to perfection."
