Cousin Of - Orna Porat Theater for Children and Youth

To avoid disrupting your children's viewing experience, children and toddlers under the recommended viewing age will not be admitted to the hall. Play: Ran Dvarat Directed by: Ido Colton "Cousin of..." is a gripping, fast-paced and energetic comedy dealing with truth and lies, social pressure and the desire to be accepted. Tali starts at a new school this year and is determined to protect her social standing at any cost. In a moment of tension, confusion and insecurity, she gets drawn into a small lie meant to grab attention and impress her classmates — and before long, the response she had so hoped for actually arrives. But the lie doesn't stay small. It grows, becomes tangled and spirals out of control, pushing Tali into a series of complicated and sometimes extreme situations. The further the story she has built strays from the truth, the higher the emotional price she has to pay. In the end, she faces a fateful decision: keep lying to protect her social status, or choose the truth — even if it means risking everything she has built? "Cousin of..." combines sharp humor with touching moments of fantasy, and succeeds in raising, in accessible and honest language, one of the central questions facing children and teens: how far are you willing to go to be accepted, and what is the price of giving up the truth — and yourself — along the way.
