Abstract
AbstractThe article explores the history of the Russian Theatre in Israel as an inseparable part of Israeli theatre life: Russian Jews had a decisive role in the foundation of Israeli theatre and in the very beginning of Hebrew theatre in Palestine and in Moscow, and for decades the main Israeli artists introduced themselves as pupils of Vachtangov and Stanislavsky. In addition, a specific sensitiveness to Russian cultural tradition made a serious impact on Israeli theatre school and repertoire policy. The article discusses the phenomenon of enduring connections between Israeli and Russian theatres. The discussion is based on original archive research, and it includes first publication of a variety of data and documents as well as the analysis of different aspects of the intercultural Israeli-Russian dialogue.
