Kommt ein Pferd in die Bar - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Dov Grinstein is a stand-up comedian, Krakeeler, solo entertainer and audience whore. In a hall in the barren industrial area of ​​Netanya, a city between Haifa and Tel Aviv, he arrives for his last performance. He teases his audience, speaks it directly, becomes openly offensive, apologizes tearfully. He tears antics, tells lazy and witty, vulgar and innocent jokes. The Shoah and its victims are as little spared by its taboo humor as Israel's policies in the Palestinian territories. Dov fights for almost two hours with fury for the attention of the people, nobody is allowed to get lost. Because he has more to offer than a successful show: He has to report on his "personal Chernobyl", the trauma, the guilt that has poisoned his life. Dov gives an account. The armor "humor" with which he had to arm himself has made him survive, but also hardened, against the history of his country, the incredible pain that almost every family has to bear, against the "learned" indifference in the deadly conflict with the "Arabs". The hall empties, not all can and want to follow this yearning addiction of exposing the "nice, cheerful wit gun".

David Grossman, one of Israel's most important narrators, created with Dov Grinstein a character who always speaks out of necessity and who has been conditioned by an arbitrary "external force that penetrates by force into the life of a human, a human soul" - and free.
