SABRA-ONE WOMAN SHOW-WRITTEN BY NETTA YASHCHIN-ISEAEL-2021-2026

DIRECTED BY ASNAT ZIBIL

PRODUCED BY THE TEATRONETO FESTIVAL IN TEL AVIV 2021

About the show

Sabra is a captivating one-woman show created and performed by Netta Yashchin that explores identity, belonging, and resilience through a deeply personal lens. Blending storytelling, movement, and music, Yashchin traces her journey as an Israeli-born woman navigating life between cultures. The title — Sabra, meaning a native-born Israeli, symbolized by a cactus that is tough on the outside and soft within — becomes a powerful metaphor for strength and vulnerability. Through humour, honesty, and emotion, Yashchin invites audiences into an intimate exploration of heritage, displacement, and the search for self in a world shaped by memory and migration.
