Momik is a nine year-old boy and a member of a very loving and close family. His father and mother are Polish Jews and Holocaust survivors. This powerful and uplifting play brings the story of Momik's childhood in 1950s Jerusalem and of his investigations into the Holocaust, triggered by arrival of his long lost grandfather Anshel, a survivor of the German concentration camps. Momik is the only child who is raised in an atmosphere of love and kindness, but along with silence and hidden pain. Grown-ups refuse to answer Momik's questions about their life and he creates an imaginary land where his family happily lived before the war. Momik is a visually rich, sad, funny and uplifting show played by Gesher’s most acclaimed actors.
Appropriate for the whole family - for all ages.
"No doubts. London was taken aback by Gesher's
performances. Artistic Director E. Arye has created one
of the very best theatre ensembles in the world..."
Observer, London
