House by Amos Gitaï

Theatre, the art of speech and expression, is made accessible to all this 2023. Throughout the year, experience theatrical performances in a variety of different languages at the La Colline theatre, and leave the language barrier in the past with both French and English surtitling.
This is the case for one play by Israeli filmmaker and director Amos Gitaï, House, which is performed in French, English, Hebrew, and Arabic, and allows both English and French-speaking audiences to connect with its message. Discover this talented creative’s mastery of his craft with an affecting drama that encourages us to reflect on the possibility of reconciliation.

In House, Amos Gitaï tells the tale of one West Jerusalem residence by shedding light on the secrets and tensions that its occupants have faced for a quarter of a century. Through fragmented autobiographical accounts, he draws the history of a territory and a conflict with powerful sincerity. Within the titular house, the characters present points of view and experiences that vary from individual to individual, setting them apart from one another, despite their unity in geography. House constitutes a microcosm, a territory, an attempt to discuss the present and future whilst paying mind to the past. A show that is indescribably moving, gripping, and will most certainly surprise you.
