Play: Mor Anter Directing and writing consultation: Yossi Joz Cohen Set and costumes: Roni Vilozhni Props: Narkis Elba Music: Naama Radler Lighting: Guy Glili Karate instruction: Barak Gonen Text coaching: Margalit Gaz Assistant director: Naama Basson Carolin has fire in her head. She's turning 12 in another month. She doesn't understand why she's being forced to grow up, why everyone makes such a fuss over the coming-of-age ceremony, and how she's supposed to get through it with a father who doesn't understand her, classmates who torment her, and a mother who went up to heaven before she had the chance to get to know her. All this causes her to lose her temper and resort to violence, and the school counselor identifies a behavioral problem in Carolin. Before the school decides to expel her, the counselor suggests to Carolin the possibility of joining a club that might help her - a club... karate. She decides to join the karate club, but there too she runs into kids who laugh at her and fight her without mercy, and only Danny, the introverted boy in the class, teaches her that according to the teachings of karate, every time you fall you have to get up and try again until you succeed. Carolin learns to love the fire in her head and give it positive expression. She excels in the karate club and achieves things no one expected - not her father, not the school counselor, and certainly not herself. "Fire in the Head" is a personal, social drama about a girl's persistent struggle to channel herself toward positive places on the way to achievement and a new path. Critics praise it: Fire in the Head is an intelligent one-woman show - "thanks to Mor Anter, this small show becomes a moving experience not only for children, but also for parents, who get a chance to look at reality through the eyes of the adolescent girl yearning for love and recognition." Shai Bar Yaakov, Yedioth Ahronoth, 10.5.17. The leading character you'll fall in love with - Fire in the Head is a complex, multi-layered show that touches the heart and manages to make both young and adult audiences laugh and feel moved alike, but what makes it such a stirring theatrical experience is the amazing, precise acting. Anter is a versatile actress who pours her soul out on stage and displays comic timing, dramatic range and inexhaustible energy.... The final result is an emotional rollercoaster ride into the heart of one truly unique girl. Nurit Assayag, Achbar Ha'Ir, October 2016. Go see it - "It seems the audience watching fully identified with Carolin, played by the talented Mor Anter. The audience of parents and children alike was captivated by what happened onstage throughout the entire hour of the show... In conclusion - go see it, and I truly hope this important and moving show will be performed in every elementary school in Israel."
