Offstage
Mark of Excellence, Artistic Audacity, Akko International Fringe Theater Festival 2013.
"The River is Everywhere" Herman Hesse
The boat of the dead sailed down the river Styx to the depths of Sheol.
Back and forth, back and forth.
A rare opportunity to join a horror journey through voids in Greek tragedies. These are voids of horror images that have always remained off-stage and are now given visual expression for the first time.
At Offstage, these images are scattered along the river of death, trapped in it forever. Today they are already part of the modern existential tragedy, more relevant and disturbing than ever.

“Akko Fringe Theater Festival was created for shows like 'Offstage’. It is its reason and it's motivator. It's not only the uncompromising idea or its flawless execution, nor the attention to the small details (and there are quite a few details in the event), that culminated to the peak of this theatrical event”.
