Black Pepper- A new production set in Israel during the covid pandemic while the entire country is in a lock-down. A comedy by Aviv Luz directed by Howard Rypp and starring Gilles Ben David and Daniel Imharan, it pairs two very different characters- an aging Moroccan puppeteer with a young Ethiopian rapper who volunteers to bring him groceries. The conflicts arising from these difficult times are resolved as they help one another to be proud of their heritage and create the art they contribute while fulfilling themselves
