Text in::he

A satirical cabaret about war, first performed in August 1968, shortly after the Six-Day War. It consists of fourteen pieces, some acted and some sung, expressing cynical and critical views on war, its values, and consequences. The work opens with a reflection that those who see the dead have no words and simply continue living as if they lost. The recurring theme is the constant presence of war alongside everyday life and personal moments, illustrating the harsh and absurd reality of living under continuous conflict. The play mixes biting political satire with universal human emotions, depicting war as an inescapable companion in various life situations.
