Theatrical Tour of Jaffa Port

For ages 5–10 and the whole family

The tale of the fisherman and the golden fish comes to life in a unique, experiential and interactive theatrical tour for the whole family. The fisherman’s three wishes open a gateway through time, inviting the audience to meet fascinating figures from Jaffa’s past—such as Jonah the prophet, Napoleon and Andromeda—and dive into history and culture through play, humor and surprises. A show that is also a story, a tour and a one-of-a-kind experience in the charming corners of Jaffa Port. Join a unique adventure led by Sami the Fisherman to discover the golden wishes, and along the way meet fascinating characters who conceal clues and surprises. Ready to fish together for the next wish?

Good News | A Sensitive Show for Children

A funny and touching show set in an old-fashioned newspaper office. Just before everything becomes digital, the dedicated editor decides that the last printed issue will contain only good news. Amid the noise of the photocopier and the world of flickering screens, she embarks on a small but determined journey with the help of her reporters: Ami the sports reporter, Mili the culture reporter, and Nehorai the nature reporter. A search for good news through object theater, silhouettes, words, paper and imagination.

Juices for the Brave — Show + Workshop for Halloween in Collaboration with Jaffa Port

In the garden of Azdarechet the witch, enchanted plants with special powers grow, and she—generation 346 of certified witches—brews potions from them for every fear and worry. The show brings to light the real fears children experience, while Azdarechet listens, reflects and invents magical solutions—and sometimes, when there is no choice, gathers the courage to face her own fears. Show + workshop for preparing a special anti-fear potion for each child.

Storytelling and Creative Activity — Penina’s Home

Penina, a playful stray cat, loves her neighborhood. She has everything: a warm bed, a playground, and rooftops to climb and jump across. But when her home is destroyed, she sets out on a journey to find a new place that feels like home. A moving and gentle storytelling and puppet theater performance about belonging, friendship and hope, seen through the eyes of one brave cat. The show is made entirely from recycled materials: cardboard, bags and simple objects that spark the imagination and create beauty from what already exists.

And what awaits after the show? After the storytelling hour, every child will make a personal shadow puppet, become acquainted with the world of shadow theater, take the stage and try operating their puppets in a game of light, shadow and imagination.
