About the Show
Multi-award winning Theatre Ad Infinitum (Translunar Paradise, The Big Smoke, Odyssey) presents an explosive tale. Armed with music, killer heels and a lethal troop of divas an enraged Israeli executes a story of victimhood, persecution, aggression and love. With shrapnel sharp voices and moves as smooth as an oiled tank chain, this cabaret troop invites you on a journey into the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
After taking the Edinburgh Festival by storm, this explosive show comes to Toronto for one week only!
Presented by Acting Up Stage Company and Why Not Theatre, in association with Koffler Centre of the Arts.
