We are not afraid to raise difficult topics that others remain silent about, and we do not sweep controversial issues under the carpet where there cannot be one solution. With NEN, young parents can always find an answer to any question, dispel doubts and overcome their fears. Because all of this is normal.
"
No, It’s Normal" is a media outlet that provides comprehensive support to parents at every stage of their amazing journey: from the first thought "should we have a child?" to "how to survive teenage rebellion." We write about health, money, childhood and adult crises, school, work and how to combine them all, teenagers and babies, the joys and nastiness of parenting, all aspects of childhood and adult life.
This is a story of people in a small town who survived the apocalypse — what they did before, during, and after the cataclysmic event.
The production is supported by the INTERNATIONAL CULTURE FOUNDATION and the Gesher Theater.
The play draws inspiration from the recollections of the hibakusha (Japanese for "people who survived the light"), the surviving victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Rather than engaging in a documentary reconstruction of the historical experience surrounding one of humanity’s most monstrous disasters, the theatre endeavors to explore, based on this poignant experience, what lies ahead for us.
INTERNATIONAL CULTURE FOUNDATION aims to ensure the continuity of the creative and cultural process during the times when art is being censored. ICF helps artists who had to relocate and seeks for support of any kind to bring their work to the public.
Despite the harrowing discrimination faced by the hibakusha community post-explosion, they emerged as the first significant humanist movement in Japan. The play confronts a central and uncomfortable question: Is it conceivable to achieve such a humanistic transformation without the preceding inhumane act?
"
There Will Be No Wedding" is an original play by journalist Alina Farkash, specifically written for the Fulcro theatre in collaboration with Zhenya Berkovich, who authored the poetic texts for the play.
