Prisoner of Zion

Premiering at the 2023 Akko International Fringe Theatre Festival and created over 10 months in parallel to large-scale protests across Israel in response to the extreme right-wing government's push for a wide-ranging judicial overhaul, this innovative performance piece first dealt with Lee Perlman’s personal crisis with Zionism. Audiences are invited, like a make-shift support group, to take part in an intervention – between Lee and the Zionist idea.

On October 7th, four days after the festival, the “Black Sabbath” blew up status-quo reality in Israel/Palestine. Since January 2024, at the Tmuna Fringe Theatre Center in Tel Aviv where Prisoner of Zion performs in repertory, the piece continues to challenge audiences to deal with the colossal changes that Israeli society has gone through since the war in Gaza and with Iran.
