Jellyfish (Meduzot)

4.5
 
 
Screening Times: 
Wednesday, April 30, 2008 7:10pm

Director: ETGAR KERET AND SHIRA GEFFEN

Jellyfish (Meduzot), tells the story of overlapping encounters of three Tel Aviv women who weave a finely realized portrait of modern Israeli life. Batya, a catering waitress, takes in a child abandoned at a local beach. She’s one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren, a bride who breaks her leg escaping a locked toilet stall, which ruins her chance at a dream Caribbean honeymoon.

Attending the event with an employer is Joy, a middle-aged caregiver for the elderly, who has left her son behind in her native Philippines (and speaks no Hebrew), adrift in a culture not her own. This trio separately wends their ways through Israel’s most cosmopolitan city in this series of elusive encounters but under masterful control. A collaboration between Israeli fiction writer Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen, his wife, won Cannes 2007 Camera d’Or for best first feature.

(In Hebrew, Tagalog, German w/ Eng. subtitles)

THEATER | "White Sheep of the Family," a sharp farce at Theatre in the Round

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

You’re not going to find a stronger theater company in the Twin Cities than the Theatre in the Round Players, and they’ve done it again, mounting yet anotther first-rate production. The White Sheep of the Family, by L. du Garde Peach and Ian Hay, is a splendidly written, sharply directed, beautifully acted farce you’re going to rush home and tell family, friends—pretty much anyone who’ll listen—all about.
