How it all started? In December 2001, thirty Jewish theatre Directors and academics from around the world met in Tel Aviv at a conference “Towards a Vibrant and Coherent Theatre of the Jewish People,” hosted by the Jewish Agency’s People to People center. They concluded with the decision to establish a Jewish Theatre Network on the Web. Pursuant to the conference, the Jewish Agency asked Moti Sandak to plan and design this Jewish World Theatre Website, to be based on his own initiative and ten years of research in Jewish theatre, rare collection of plays and professional articles, connections with leading libraries and databases around the world, and three years of accumulated research in Internet information technology together with European R&D institutions.

“Paper Dolls,” is a moving documentary that explores the role of immigrant workers in Western culture, and delves into the lives of societal outcasts seeking freedom and acceptance. Tomer Heymann, the film’s Israeli director, tells the story of Filipinos in various stages of gender transition, who were enticed to immigrate to Israel by Israeli authorities who sought to fill gaps in the job market after closing the border to Palestinian workers. He chronicles their adjustment to Israeli society as caregivers to elderly, Orthodox Jewish men who often come to view them as substitute children, juxtaposed by their nightly performances as a drag queen ensemble, “Paper Dolls,” in Tel Aviv nightclubs.

I was born on Riverside Drive in Manhattan in 1953. Shortly after I was four years old, my family moved to the Marble Hill section of the Bronx. My father, Simon Hafftka, and mother, Eva Hershko, were both refugees from Europe and survivors of the Holocaust. My father and his cousin Alexander Hafftka were the only survivors of a large family whose great uncle was Dr. Waldemar Mordecai Haffkine. Much of my understanding of the world came from my perception of my parents’ wartime experiences. Among the host of determining factors and experiences that were later brought to bear on my becoming an artist was a strong desire for freedom.
I went to public school and Yeshiva for a short time and graduated from De Witt Clinton High school in 1971. At the time of my graduation, I already knew I was an artist though I had not accomplished anything tangible and still had not found my medium.
My mother died in 1971, and I went to Budapest (on the earnings I made working in a bike shop and as a sales clerk in an Army & Navy store) to meet my maternal grandmother whom I had just discovered was still alive. My grandmother didn’t speak Modern English; she spoke to me in the English she learned, which was Shakespearean. It was linguistically a funny and poetic experience. On the way back from Budapest, I went to Barcelona and lived like a hobo for several months. I was deeply moved by all the art and architecture I saw. The buildings of Gaudi especially struck me.
I did not want to go to Vietnam. I had been turned down as a Conscientious Objector, but Read the rest of this entry »
