Jaffa Theater - Stage For Arab And Hebrew Culture

The Center for Arab-Hebrew Theater has been operating for 15 years.

The Jaffa Theater has adopted the multi-cultural model: a meeting between cultures, a meeting between different artists and a meeting between diverse audiences, combining: movement theater, documentary theater, challenging space uses, contemporary adaptations of classical plays, and various community activities.

In the past year, the theater has also begun producing literary evenings, music and art exhibitions.

The theater is home to two theater companies that produce plays in Hebrew and Arabic.

The "Local Theater" group, founded by Gabi Eldor, Yigal Azrati, and Irit Neiman, has been on its artistic path for 20 years. In 2014, the theater continued to focus on the culture of the Mediterranean and presents a musical play about the life of singer Um Kulthum.
