The play AMSTERDAM unfolds the course of 24 hours in the life of a 9 months pregnant Israeli violinist living in Amsterdam, the day she wakes up and finds an unpaid gas bill from 1944 on her doorstep. The multiple speakers accompany the absent character throughout the day on which she tries to keep her regular routine while the gas bill is hiding in her bag like a ticking bomb, shattering her consciousness into pieces, awakening sentiments of collective identity, minority awareness, fear of xenophobia and strong sense of strangeness, foreignness and alienation. The speakers reconstruct a possible story of the past which takes over the plot and turns the Israeli violinist's home environment into a scene of tragic events. |

God Waits at the Station is a kaleidoscope of fragmented testimonies;"She was pregnant", says the soldier who allowed the suicide bomber to pass through the checkpoint, thus enabling the death of thirty innocent people. "She was not pregnant", determines the Israeli security agent who was present during the autopsy. Did the taxi driver who drove her become part of a terror attack against his will, or was he a knowing and calculated accomplice? And how do we end the cycle of death if even a pregnant woman is a possible suspect? |
