"SHULEM illuminates the tragic experiences of the Shoah signifying how love, humor and art can triumph over reality.
"not merely exceptional but points to the imperceptible" Achbar (Jerusalem daily)
" original ...,exquisite and compelling... juxtaposes the traditional Seder night with personal truncated memories from the Shoah. an intrinsic powerful irony, a strong consciousness that the same God, who delivered the children of Israel from slavery to freedom, is the God who disappeared during the Holocaust". Maariv (national daily)
"The work "SHULEM" is a theatrical journey of the memory- strange beautiful and impressive." Yediot Achronot- (national daily)
"Theatre Company Jerusalem's "Shulem", written by Gabriella Lev, is nothing less than a tour-de force. Shulem is a story-teller, a raconteur, who has lived the most terrible period of Jewish history, the Holocaust. He experienced his life, as did our ancestors for thousands of years, with humor and a strong identification with the long story of the Jewish people. When it was necessary, to tell a good story, facts were easily sacrificed to fit present needs. In Shulem's world, truth is relative - adjusting itself to the needs of the moment. Life does not imitate art; it is art…. The manner in which music, movement, text, visions and languages are interwoven, the profundity of the material and the virtuosity of the performers is what transforms this insightful exploration into a theatrical glory." Jewish Theatre website
"a uniquely superlative fusion of acting, music and an extraordinary visual concept: A Seder night which is certainly distinctive." Maariv (national daily)
"saturated with bold colours, dance and dynamic tones.TCJ explore the limits of theatre and impart a physical and visual expression to memories and reverberations that pass through our consciousness" Makor Rishon (national daily)
"The major crucial questions that permeate this avant-garde piece are essential and grab you by the throat because they are the existential questions of our life here." Hatzofe (national daily)
