Tiny Death | Meital Raz
“I want you to know that my mother and I have the exact same hands. Feminine but rough, with very dry skin, and nails that grow long and strong. My Grandma Gracia had them too, and my daughter got them as well.
I want you to know that with our hands we can do many things: cut vegetables straight over the pot, braid a quick braid, caress, scratch, pinch really hard, and also do theatre shows. We can instill characters in them and also travel with them to different places.
I want you to know that in this show, you will see my hands, and hear my voice, I will bring you into my house and into my head.
I want you to come and stay afterwards to talk, because we are alive.”

“She takes death and life in the palm of her hand, as in an expression, and turns them into a game full of surprises and healthy emotion (an element that is usually not addressed in theatre). And this mental health in the play is, above all, the sensitivity to others and the ability to love. It is sensitive and moving, and full of life.” Nano Shabtai, Haaretz
