The monologues in the performance "Family Order" are all taken from the literature. Some of them are taken from the original literature and some from the translated literature. Each one of the twelve course participants chose for himself a text from the monologue compilations that Ronit prepared and took it on a wild and exciting ride.
The monologue was treated like an abandoned island, detached from the story or the book from which it was taken.
This enabled a very open and intuitive process of work, which included inventing a biography and data for the character, choosing a name, and decisions about the emotional and circumstantial state from which the dialogue emerges.
The audience is an active participant, and fills gaps for the characters, from the fact that it exists in the space, the role of their partner in the scene: dad, son, girl/boyfriend, lover or stranger.
The evening is called "Family Order" due to the fact that all of the acts deal with family and the complex relationships within the family. And as is required from our actual involvement in the drama and Theatre, we mainly covered parts and situations in which the order is violated and was disrupted. The performance was launched in March 2007, with the participation of the course participants (Group 1).
