The Na Lagaát Theater was established in 2002 by Adina Tal and Eran Gur to integrate deaf-blind individuals into mainstream society, using the theater stage as a platform to promote their rights, talents, and aspirations. Today our repertoire includes six different shows starring blind, visually impaired, deaf, hearing impaired, deaf-blind, and seeing and hearing actors. Since its establishment, the Na Lagaát Theater has been providing audiences with a cultural and social experience while raising awareness of issues concerning people with disabilities in order to promote change within society.

A monodrama based on the true story of Yakov Gozalchik, a holocaust survivor who served as a kapo of block 11 at Auschwitz concentration camp.
The play describes firsthand how Yacob had dealt with the impossible situations forced upon him; showing meaningful periods in his life, starting with the Polish town of Krynki, through his outstanding survival in the second world war, and finally, the treatment he received after immigrating to Israel.
An emotional heart-breaking play, which deals with prejudice, people’s tendency to categorize and judge, the power of survival instinct and the strong will to live.

Duration: 60 minutes
Language: Hebrew, with English subtitles
