Mode d’emploi pour metteur en scène en temps de guerre

Funny, squeaky and sometimes absurd. A show that seeks neither to reconcile nor to reassure, but to look chaos straight in the eyes.

Ido and Hannan are two Israeli directors. One lives in Tel Aviv, the other in Paris.

In 2022, a European festival orders them a show on a perfectly reasonable question: what does it mean to be Israeli today? Then comes the attack of 7 October and the extreme violence unleashed in their name. Big existential artistic question: what do we do now?

They choose the worst possible option: not knowing. They play their own role, contradict each other live. Genocide, Terror, Shoah, words burn and they sink into their paradoxes. Funny, squeaky and sometimes absurd.
