״ I am afraid to recommend this show"

Michael Hendelzaltz' Haaretz

​

‘Love the Juice’ is a satiric performance piece targeting Israel’s incessant need to groom its image and sell it to the rest of the world. Its allegorical use of the zionist nationality stands as a warning sign to nationalities arising all over the world.

​

In the show, Bronz’s character presents itself: formerly a radical leftist dedicated to end the occupation, his opinions changed completely; One day, during intercourse with his palestinian boyfriend in an orchard, an orange hit his head. He had an epiphany and since then has become a radical right wing nationalist. He wishes to travel the world in order to glorify Israel and sell its commodities. For this sake, he has created a fund raiser in the form of a show. Its aim is to convince the audience to make a donation and hopefully even immigrate to Israel.

​

By artful manipulations, by an excessive use of the nation’s most eroded symbols and propaganda, Bronz uses patriotism against itself. Always on the verge of provoking a controversy, he assembles complex scenarios involving the audience: Its members must respond quickly, while every choice is valid and meaningful, dictating Bronz’s next move.
