The Jewish Innovation

“במה עברית” הינו תאטרון קהילתי ישראלי המעלה הצגות בעברית למען הקהילה הישראלית בעמק הסיליקון. התאטרון הוקם לפני 5 שנים ומטרתו ליצור תרבות ישראלית עכשווית ומקומית. התאטרון מונה כעשרים משתתפים, הלוקחים חלק בהצגות כשחקנים, מעצבים, מוסיקאים, מנהלי במה ומפיקים. הצגות התאטרון מלאות עד אפס מקום בקהל ישראלי מקומי המשווע לתרבות עברית-בעברית.

ההצגה “כסית בתלאביב” היא קברט-תאטרון ארץ-ישראלי מיוחד במינו. בבית קפה אחד ברחוב דיזנגוף בתל אביב התפתחו שלושה דורות של משוררים ויוצרים עבריים. “במהעברית” מחייה את בית הקפה על אופיו הייחודי והנפשות המרתקות אשר פקדו אותו.

אין צורך בכרטיס טיסה, או חופשה מאורגנת לארץ. גם עומס החום, בעיות החנייה והג’ט-לג נחסכים. תל אביב חיה ונושמת בתאטרון מקומי ב-Bay Area.

Project Kassit is bringing to life the timeless story of Israel’s foremost poetry and literary artists who congregated at this famous Tel Aviv coffee shop on Dizengoff. Sharing their art, lives, and stories, the characters in this fictional world premiere, are loosely based on real-life historical figures that shaped Israel’s cultural scene for generations.

Now, a group of talented Israeli performers from the Bay Area are working to bring this experience to life in an original live stage performance. This one of a kind performance will bring these larger than life historical figures to the stage for the audience to experience firsthand. We need your help to make this dream a reality. By supporting Project Kassit, you will take part in continuing to extend the artistic and cultural legacy that Israel’s foremost artists established on the streets of Tel Aviv during its early years.

Note that the show is in Hebrew.

Tickets for the show can be purchased at http://kassit.bpt.me/

The Impact

The Bay Area is home to many Israelis whose cultural affiliation is closely connected to Israel. “Bama Ivrit” ensemble, a non-profit Bay Area Israeli/Hebrew theater group, is hard at work to bring to the stage an original play “Kassit Tel Aviv” written and directed by Ofra Daniel the artistic director of the group.
“Kassit Tel Aviv” is a cabaret style theater, based on the stories that sprung from Café Kassit, Israel’s hub for poets, writers and artists in the 1950s-70s, who set the cultural foundations of the newly established state.

Our audience will be magically transported through time and space to the most prolific periods in Israeli artistic and cultural history. The performance will bring to life Nathan Alterman, Lea Goldberg and others, through songs, poems and dramatic dialogues.
We invite the Bay Area community to support this ambitious endeavor by contributing funds that will cover the production expenses including, theater rental, set and costumes, publicity, graphic design and more.

What Will You Do with the Money?

A project of this magnitude can only succeed with the help of a community. The producers of this show are intent on providing the most authentic experience possible with the limited resources at their disposal. Support for this campaign will be used to cover overhead expenses directly related to creating the production. Most of these expenses consist of theater rental, lighting, sound, procuring props and costumes, and other set related costs in order to portray Café Kassit as it truly was. Our goal is to raise at least $5,500 in order to produce this show at the highest level of quality. We need your help to make this happen.
