A-genre Drama New Writing Poetic Drama Short Play Experimental Theatre Subject: Violence Biography History Arab-Israeli Conflict Trial and Law Juridical Injustice Palestinians Crime Army Text in: he English Rumanian	A reopening of a case that in our opinion should not have been closed: The killing of Muhammad Qudaih, a 70-year-old Palestinian resident who was holding a white flag. In the summer of 2014, I was a criminal investigator in the Israeli Defense Forces, and I was sent to investigate that case. After I was discharged from the service it was closed by the Military Prosecutor’s Office without any legal proceedings being taken. A few years later, I saw him in front of me at a café: The soldier who shot the old man. At that moment, I realized that I had not finished investigating this case.

Critics	"In an intelligent performance, Joseph also reconstructs the details of the investigation through original documents collected since the case was closed." Sheren Falah Saab, Haaretz "The content of the performance cannot be separated from its visual expression. The creators' subconscious worked extra hours during the creative process and burst into the creation." Yuval Plotkin, Ynet "A refreshing and rare encounter with live, relevant, and vital theater. There is very little of it in Israel, certainly in a way that manages to maintain a high level both in content and form." Critic Noa Sadeh, Habama
