This book conceptualizes Mizrahi (Middle Eastern Jewish) theatre,
unfolding its performances in the field of Israeli theatre with a
critical gaze. It covers the conceptualization and typology, not
along a chronological axis, but rather through seven theatrical
forms. The author suggests a defi nition of Mizrahi theatre that
has fl uid boundaries and it can encompass various possibilities
for self-representation onstage. Although Mizrahi theatre began to
develop in the 1970s, the years since the turn of the millennium
have seen an intense flowering of theatrical works by second- and
third-generation artists dealing with issues of identity and
narrative in a diverse array of forms. Mizrahi theatre is a
cultural locus of self-representation, generally created by Mizrahi
artists who deal with content, social experiences, cultural,
religious, and traditional foundations, and artistic languages
derived from the history and social reality of Mizrahi Jews in both
Israel and their Middle Eastern countries of origin. Critically
surveying Mizrahi theatre in Israel, the book is a key resource for
students and academics interested in theatre and performance
studies, and Jewish and Israeli studies.
