Wrote plays, sketches, songs, stories and poetry, and also directed most of his own plays. During his work as a playwright and stage director, he developed a unique dramatic and theatrical language, created by combining poetic written text and images designed with the actors and set designers, costume and lighting, composer and choreographer. His plays are characterized by his ability to combine the work of different artists and have always been a celebration of words and visual images, based on a great love for the theater and all who take part in the performance.<br \/>\nLevin left a spiritual &#8211; artistic\u00a0legacy, which includes 56 plays (except for his political satires, only 33 of his plays were performed in his lifetime), two books of prose, two collections of sketches and songs, a book of poems and two books for children. In 1999, the last year of his life, he took care to publish all his works.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-medium [&amp;_&gt;*:first-child]:mt-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Productions of his plays worldwide<\/p>\n<div class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-medium [&amp;_&gt;*:first-child]:mt-0\">\n<div class=\"group relative\">\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-x-auto md:max-w-[90vw] border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest bg-transparent\">\n<table class=\"border-subtler my-[1em] w-full table-auto border-separate border-spacing-0 border-l border-t\">\n<thead class=\"bg-subtler\">\n<tr>\n<th class=\"border-subtler p-sm break-normal border-b border-r text-left align-top\">Play (English)<\/th>\n<th class=\"border-subtler p-sm break-normal border-b border-r text-left align-top\">Year<\/th>\n<th class=\"border-subtler p-sm break-normal border-b border-r text-left align-top\">Country \/ City \/ Theatre<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Hefetz \/ Dingens<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2025<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Bonn, Germany, Schauspiel Frankfurt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">So Much Hope \/ Que d\u2019Espoir<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2025<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Lyon, France, Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2018Atelier<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Krum \/ Crumb<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2025<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Tallinn, Estonia, Tallinn City Theatre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Rubber Merchants \/ Handlarze Gumek<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2024<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Warsaw, Poland, Teatr 6. pi\u0119tro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">The Labour of Life \/ Udr\u0119ka \u017cycia<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2024<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Warsaw, Poland, Theater Wilam Horzyca<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Krum<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2023<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Budapest, Hungary, V\u00edgsz\u00ednh\u00e1z<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Requiem<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">2023<\/td>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">New York, USA, Area 623<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"px-sm border-subtler min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r\">Yaacobi &amp;
