Women Cook a Story
Mom’s food, the touch of her hands, Taste of her stories.
Six women from Yeruham take the stage with the spotlight on them.
Cutting tomatoes, frying garlic and hot peppers, with the smells filling up the nostrils and the mouth salivating.
They cook and tell each other of themselves. The music rises and so does the screen. At the end of the show, they go down to the audience with the pots, so they taste their stews and the stories.
