Birthday Candles | Roni Brodetsky The Cameri Theatre

For her 17th birthday, Ernestine's mother teaches her to bake the cake that has been passed down the family through generations. A simple cake, with the most basic ingredients, yet they make up the whole world.

 

For ninety minutes, the years of Ernestine's life pass before our eyes, from childhood to old age, loves and disappointments, from moments of pain and loss to moments of elation. A life journey, with turmoils and upheavals, in which only one thing remains stable: the ceremony of baking the cake, every year, on her birthday.


In the starring role, Ola Schur-Selektar, and cast: Yishay Golan, Netta Garti, Naama Chetrit, Eran Mor, Alon Sendler
