The tenant HAIMOVITZ
A poor young poet rents a crumbled and isolated apartment from an ambiguous landlord obsessed by the walls surrounding the apartment. Soon enough he discovers that thirteen psychotic roommates, including his monstrous parents, are occupying his flat, which transforms each time to someplace else: the beach / ministry of the interior / Interrogation Room / slogan factory / mental hospital / battlefield, and many other places where there is no space for one who refuses to speak the right words dictated by the "Citizen Number One".
An absurd and mysterious journey into the Depths of a sick and split soul aspect of the Israeli society. The flat is an allegory of a country getting more and more involved in its own self destruction, divided by its growing paradoxes.
In a time of contradiction and madness, the only way out is to stay in but the only way to stay in is to get out of your mind.
"The Tenant Haimovitz” was created in 2011 in Tel Aviv by one of the leading theater directors and choreographers in Israel Marina Beltov and playwright-actor Ariel Bronz. Their encounter and partnership led to the emergence of a unique theatrical language, interweaving the arts of theater, text, dance, design and music.
