One-Man Play: It's Better in Amharic

It's Better in Amharic is a one-man show performed by Yossi Vassa, an Ethiopian-Israeli. Yossi acts out his travels from Ethiopia to his new home in Israel. This performance will delve into what it means to be a Jew in Ethiopia and an African in Israel. Yossi talks about it all - the ridiculousness, the hilariousness, the troubles. He will make you cry. He will make you laugh. And most of all, he's funny.

Come see one of the many multicultural aspects of Israel!
