"Wir spielen Alltag" by Lizzie Doron, translated by Markus Lemke. © 2025 dtv Verlag, Munich

Theater im Palais presents the world premiere of a stage adaptation of Israeli writer and peace activist Lizzie Doron's novel. She chronicles her daily life between Berlin and Tel Aviv since October 7, 2023 - an everyday existence that no longer truly exists and yet continues: encounters with the bereaved, political debates at the hairdresser, fading memorial events, silence in a phone call with a Palestinian friend.

Through brief episodes, the piece unfolds a disturbing reality that challenges the moral compass and renegotiates concepts such as home, friendship, and family. Israeli director Dori Engel has adapted the material in close collaboration with Lizzie Doron as a musical theatre work.
