Recensioner i media

The significance of the Acco Festival as a hub of artistic and social provocations can hardly be overestimated. Naphtaly Shem-Tov’s book offers an overview of three decades of avant-garde performances, including their controversial themes and innovative settings. Politics is the analytical key to the repertoire as well as to the organization of the festival. In addition, the role of Acco as the host community is carefully investigated. Altogether, an exemplary way of presenting this influential theatre festival.”
