Sabra

'Sabra' is a compelling one-woman play that delves into the complex emotional landscape of migration, identity, and family. Written and performed by Netta Yashchin and directed by Asnat Zibil, the production brings to life the story of Zhenia, a recent immigrant from the USSR in the 1970s. A mother of three, Zhenia shares her inner world with humor, honesty, and vivid authenticity, navigating hardship, hope, and her evolving relationship with her teenage daughter, Fania.

Based on the true memories of the actress.
