Itamar, a popular character in Israeli children's literature, was
created by one of the most important Israeli writers, David Grossman.
Itamar has an amazing gift - at night when everyone is asleep he
walks on walls. He climbs up the walls of his bedroom and enters one
of the pictures. "When you enter a picture you see and hear things
that you don't see and hear from the outside."
The play is especially rich visually and utilizes a variety of
puppetry techniques. Music and songs were especially written for the
production.
A prize winner in the Haifa Festival, Sharona Shapiro's "Ameritsa
Theater" has successfully performed in Israel and in many
international festivals in Europe and Asia during the past seventeen
years. Sharona performs in Hebrew and English.
