Gesher Theatre is situated in a beautiful old building on Jerusalem Blvd in Jaffa. The place was given to the company by the municipality of Tel Aviv in appreciation of their theatrical contribution to Israeli culture, and indeed this is one of the finest theaters in Israel Gesher Theatre was established in 1991 by the acclaimed artistic director Yevgeny Arye, who is the group's director to this day. It was founded as an Israeli-Russian theater, which performs in both languages (using Hebrew and Russian alternately). The director Yevgeny Arye has been noted for the creative blend of traditional Russian theater with new theatrical techniques, a mixture which has become Gesher's theaterical trademark. The theatre produces many classical plays and novels adapted to present-day artistic notions, but also stages quite a number of plays by contemporary Playwrights.
From the first production this theater ever staged, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead", it has received marvelous reviews. Direction, design and the exceptional acting skills of its ensemble have been raved about by critics. Gersher has received many prizes both in Israel and abroad, and is regarded as one of the very best theaters in Israel. There is simultaneous translation into English on specific dates. |
