Celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut at “Without an Evil Eye,” a one-man play performed by Asaf Ben-Shimon, with a post-event celebration that will feature live Israeli music and dancing with the Kafkafim band, a raffle with cool prizes, vendor tables featuring unique items, and a variety of delicious food options.
The show relates the amazing story of Asaf Ben Shimon and his journey through loss of vision as he realizes his dream of becoming an actor. It’s a monodrama/standup comedy that’s funny, affecting, and encompasses common human values like faith, dreams, and recognition of the goodness in basic humanity.
According to the Tel Aviv-based Hanoch Levin Institute of Israeli Drama (named for Levin, a famed Israeli playwright), Asaf’s genetic disease, known as RP, results in a slow and gradual loss of vision. “His daily challenge to solve and overcome obstacles results in infinite solutions: How to get through a first date in darkness, how to get home by bus, how to dare and audition for acting school,” its page on the play continues. “The stigma of considering a blind person as a victim is broken by allowing the spectator to experience things from Asaf’s perspective.”
