What I liked

Moti turned a one-man show into a full cast of characters with costumes and puppets, and took us on journeys to many places with a simple cart and a few props. His singing of songs he learned from his grandma was like a lullaby. His use of puppets and humorous personal stories, after stories of intense human suffering during the Holocaust, effectively lightened the mood in a way that was aligned with the overall depiction of grandma.

What I didn't like

Nothing comes to mind. It was touching, thought provoking and entertaining. It went beyond expectations.

My overall impression

A creative tapestry of stories skillfully weaving together personal and world history over past and present. Moti’s impressive display of many talents, from singing to baking for the audience while storytelling is a lively and entertaining way to bring his grandma’s life of love, resilience, and playfulness to light as an inspiring gift to us all.
