War Diaries – Uri Fahndrich & Nadia Migdal

In the organizer's words:

The German actress and director Nadia Migdal and the Israeli actor and theater maker Uri Fahndrich live together with their four-month-old daughter Alma in Tel Aviv. On the Friday morning that Hamas attacked Israel, the little family was at home - and just an hour later they were torn apart for a long time. Uri was called up as a reservist, Nadia and the baby were picked up by friends who had a shelter at home. Still unaware of the traumatic times ahead, the two decided to keep a diary. Three weeks later, Uri entered the Gaza Strip as commander of a company of 80 soldiers. The couple is separated by radio silence ...

Nadia and Uri develop a documentary theater performance for the asphalt Festival based on their war diaries, which looks at the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from different perspectives. On the Israeli side alone, over a hundred thousand parents have spent their everyday lives as soldiers on a battlefield since October 7. What happens to a society under such conditions? Generations will have to deal with the traumatizing consequences of war. How has this war changed Nadia and Uri? What does it mean in concrete terms when destruction and hatred, fear and anger find their way into everyday life? Including the personal video and sound recordings captured in Gaza and Israel, a dense testimony of everyday life in war emerges and reveals its destructive power.
