Krum

2014 | Assistant director

Text - Theatre

Krum (“crust” in Hebrew) returns home after a long journey. He has no gifts in his suitcase, only some dirty clothes, and his life seems just as empty: he did not get rich, he did not find love; nor, needless to say, did he find success. On arriving home, however, he realizes that nothing has changed there either: the world around him is stagnant and paralyzed, where nothing has advanced, where no one has shown any initiative. Births, marriages and funerals are the only events worth mentioning, but Krum contemplates these like a passive spectator, as if in a theatre, watching an enactment of his own fears and fantasies. With sharp humour and merciless irony, Levin portrays a world that is, perhaps, the one we all live in, a microcosm that deals with various aspects of the human condition.

Krum premiered on July 13, 2014, at Mercat de les Flors in Grec Festival of Barcelona
