Abstract

The Hebrew Notebook – And other stories by Franz Kafka is a performance of the Ruth Kanner Theatre Group inspired by the notebook that Kafka used for studying Hebrew which is kept in the Israel National Library in Jerusalem. The performance premiered in November 2013 as part of the 120th anniversary celebrations of the library for which twelve Israeli artists had been invited to create a work of art connected to the library or based on any of its holdings [...], mainly at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art as well as in other venues.
