The Not Only Puppets Festival is a long-standing and evolving festival with an annual theme , aiming to host and create high-quality performances and playful, performative spaces for children of all ages and their families.
The Koom-koom Theater seeks to offer children an artistic space that is both respectful and accessible, giving them the opportunity to take part in the creative process of art itself.
Behind the Magnifying Glass
This year, we have chosen to invite the audience to watch, explore, and focus on works that bring the small, the miniature, and the almost invisible into the spotlight.
A Special Project
An exhibition of interactive performances dealing with peeking, paying attention to the smallest details, and close observation.
Throughout the festival’s rooms, various installations will be displayed. Each one is an artwork in its own right—you can peek inside, explore it, observe it, and even watch it come to life.
A Series of Tyrant Performances for Adults
Two festive evenings inspired by the spirit of our times, celebrating the great dictators of history.
The performances “Dictator’s Mother” (by Michal Svironi, December 18) and “May My Name Be Erased” (by Yiftach Ophir, December 20) will compete for dominance over the audience’s hearts.
At the end of the second show, a decidedly non-democratic election will be held to choose the next dictator—because if everything’s allowed, we might as well enjoy it.
