The Final Final Solution / Hadar Galron
A Dark Comedy About things one mustn't laugh about


Black Comedy Comedy Satire Cabaret Subject: The Land of Israel The Other Violence Survival Arab-Israeli Conflict Judaism Death War Crisis Text in: he English Estonian Russian Hungarian	Triggered by the October 7th massacre, this satirical performance confronts the most difficult questions facing Jewish identity, through the lens of dark humor and unflinching honesty. The Show: Israeli artists Roy Horovitz and Hadar Galron take audiences on a journey that begins with a simple question: “Why does everybody hate us?”. What follows is a cohesive theatrical exploration, moving from the absurd to the profound, examining antisemitism, displacement, and the impossible choices faced by those living under constant threat. The performance follows a unified narrative arc that seamlessly integrates: The artists’ own stories of ancestral displacement and the impossibility of “going back where you came from” A couple’s conversation about protecting their children during wartime A satirical “menu” of historical and contemporary threats facing Jewish communities / everyone… ☹ Audio and video testimony from October 7^th, that grounds the abstract in heartbreaking reality Tone and Style: The show employs classic Jewish humor traditions – using comedy to process trauma and find meaning in suffering. It’s not always comfortable, forcing audiences to confront their own assumptions while never losing sight of the human cost behind the headlines. Why It Matters: This isn’t “entertainment for entertainment’s sake”. It’s a work that grapples with contemporary antisemitism, the complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and choosing hope in the face of existential threat. Target Audience: Mature audiences seeking challenging, politically engaged theater that doesn’t provide easy answers but creates space for difficult questions and conversations. *” You can call us dreamers, but we won’t be the last – this world needs more dreams to break from the past.”* *“A World without War? Now… that’s something worth dying for !”*

As a mother, I had raised my children with an almost religious faith in the power of love to protect them. I believed—truly believed—that my devotion could shield them from the world’s cruelties, that my dreams for them could open endless possibilities. I thought the kind of systematic brutality our grandparents faced was history, relegated to black and white photographs and survivor testimonies. I was wrong. The morning of October 7th didn’t just shatter my sense of security—it shattered my understanding of motherhood itself. Suddenly, love wasn’t enough. Dreams weren’t armor. The world I thought I was giving my children had revealed itself to be as fragile as it was precious. My body knew before my mind could process it. That day, my monthly cycle stopped. Just… stopped. It never returned. Our bodies speak what our souls cannot bear to say aloud. My womb, creator of life, simply closed shop when faced with a world that seemed determined to destroy it. Who knew my ovaries were such keen political analysts? This show was born from that physical and emotional rupture. When words fail, when rational discourse feels inadequate, when the news cycle moves on but the fear remains lodged in your chest—sometimes the only response is to laugh at the darkness. Not because it’s funny, but because the alternative is to be consumed by it. As my grandmother used to say, “If you don’t laugh, you’ll plutz”—and frankly, I wasn’t ready to plutz just yet. Writing “The Final Final Solution” was my way of wrestling with the impossible: How do you protect what you love in a world that seems intent on taking it away? How do you choose hope when hope feels like naivety? How do you find meaning in the meaningless? These aren’t questions with answers. They’re questions worth living—and creating—with. Hadar Galron
