Balagan

A play about the Holocaust is being staged in Israel. The actors are descendants of Holocaust survivors and Palestinian. A documentation about the coexistance of religions. At a local theater in the Israeli harbor town of Akko, an activist play about the Holocaust is being staged. The actors are descendants of Holocaust survivors and some are orthodox Jews while others are Palestinian. By showing excerpts of the play and mixing in scenes of the actors while off stage, Veiel documents parallel realities in the Israeli society of the 1990's. “Veiel's BALAGAN is a sensitive film about a hot topic. It renounces pedagogical or political recommendations.” (epd Film)
