How would you raise your child if you knew that one day their turn will come to hold a rifle?
Knock Knock describes what it’s like to be a parent in the shadow of armed conflict. The play follows the journey of Ilana, a single mother whose job as an Israeli Officer of Casualty Notifications is to knock on the door of families whose children have been lost in war. Her conflict between motherhood and duty reaches a deafening climax when her only son chooses to serve on the front line of battle. This heartful story, portrayed through drama and comedy entirely by Niv Petel, evokes an emotionally rich narrative describing the internal conflict among families when they are faced with the call of war.
Join us for this special performance and post-show Q&A with the performer.
Tickets: $18
Tickets required. In light of the tragic events in Israel, ticket-sale proceeds from Knock Knock will be donated to support trauma and relief efforts in the Western Galilee, Israel.
