Ach Ach Boom Traach

by The Arab - Hebrew Theater Of Jaffa

"A skilled and exciting production. The children sit on the carpet mesmerized throughout the entire play, which is simple and honest... The minimalist stage design is excellent, and the music gets to you."

Hair, Israel

Two brothers are left alone, playing together. Their language is basic and they barely talk. They quarrel, grow close, then argue again.

At times one triumphs, and then the other – the balance of power swings back and forth.

Above them is a pretty box, the centre of their attention. They are unable to open it and each wants it only for himself. The rift between the brothers widens as they grow older, and the bone of contention is always the pretty box.

The brothers go to war. And the war ends up in a stalemate. After they cruelly insult, humiliate and hurt each other, they settle down to an uneasy truce.

Then the box opens up by itself...
