A cinematic wandering on stage

About the show:

Trying to rebel against traditional and patriarchal storytelling, Hadas, a female filmmaker, is roaming the Kiryat Joseph neighborhood in Givatayim (a sleep-city bordering Tel Aviv-Yafo) with a camera in her tote bag.Letting herself be freely and randomly attracted to moments and people, she intentionally loses agency. While gathering small portraits of people with different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, she realizes they have one thing in common: they are all men from the age of 65 to 95. Thereby entangling topics like fatherhood, regrets, masculinity, generations gap and more.

Why is she doing this? Because on one of these streets, lives her father, who she’s not allowed to visit. Still, she hopes he may be the 100th man.

Accompanied by a treadmill and live narration the filmmaker creates conversations with the men she filmed in the past – having a second opportunity to tell them, herself and the audience things she was not able to tell in real-time.
