Meanwhile, the creative team also includes: Composer Vladyslav Kuznetsov, Movement Director Anna Korzik, Movement Director Anna Korzik ,Costume and Set designer Shahaf Beer and Lighting designer thegeorgeNET.
Yanina said, “This play was born from a deep sense of helplessness a year after my father passed away. Maybe it was his death that unlocked something within me. I like to believe that in his passing, he reopened the door to my creative writing to comfort me. I thought a lot about what I wanted to say and the more I worked on the show, the more I wanted to explore father figures and what has made our parents who they are. I think it’s something everyone can relate to, audiences have told us this after watching the show. I hope it will inspire others to look at the relationships with their parents from a different perspective.”
