Abstract

A discussion of the representation of the Kulturkampf1 between the secular-Zionist culture and the religious counterculture in the Israeli theatre demands several theoretical and methodological assumptions, the most important of which refers to the theatre as representing a social experience. It is accepted that theatre does not necessarily refl ect any given reality, but fashions it to its own particular needs. Despite, or perhaps even because of this, however, the ties between theatre and social reality enable the theatrical uncovering of both hidden confl icts and overt dissension.
