ABOUT HOUNDS
For sixteen years, Iris Kadosh, a 50 year old woman of Moroccan descent, has been a thankless museum guard in the white, airy galleries of a prestigious national art museum. Throughout this time, she has served the institution with much dedication and no complaints.
One day Iris arrives at the museum to find out that she will be receiving a dreamy promotion. Her Mizrahi, proletarian colleagues greet the news with mixed reactions - some are delighted by the thrilling news, while others are envious.
After a terrible accident, however, Iris faces a serious ethical dilemma about how far she should go to hold onto her new social standing.
The tragi-comic dynamics within the museum’s ensemble
of crude and colourful employees creates an opera
of marginal characters, searching for the tiniest shred of respect from the world.
