Prof. Reuben Nimrodi, the charismatic head of the Philosophy Department, wins a much desired position and leaves suddenly for Harvard University. His absence forces Yonat, his devoted yet neurotic assistant, to face a class for the first time in her life, and teach Deconstruction theory. How will Yonat survive the class? Why did she invite a prostitute? And what other surprises await her there?<\/p>\n
Paradox takes a close look at authority-based relationships, by deconstructing romantic yearnings, and questioning ‘authority’ in general. While doing so, the play also provides a fresh perspective of modern Israeli women today.
The play is written for two female performers, and involves live participation of the audience while imitating classroom dynamic.
The play premiered in Tmuna Theater, Tel Aviv, in November 2014, directed by Sharon Stark, and staring Efrat Arnon and Nitzan Keren. It is an hour long.<\/p>\n
