PREMIERE

A new experience by Mystorin Theatre:


Location: Kaplan 1, National Library of Israel, Jerusalem


ALEF is not a play. It is an experience.

An immersive ritual. A journey into the unseen — unfolding inside the shadowy halls of Jerusalem’s abandoned National Library. This isn’t theater as you know it. It’s something deeper. Stranger. Sacred.

Inspired by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges and the mystical philosophy of Meister Eckhart, ALEF breaks the boundary between performer and audience, between past and present, between what is real and what is dreamed.

There is no stage.
There are no seats.
There is no script you can cling to.

Instead, you are inside the story. You move through a living, breathing world where every room poses a question, every whisper holds a secret, and every step reveals a new path.

ALEF is not watched. ALEF is lived.

This is theater for the seekers. For the curious. For the ones who aren’t afraid of the unknown.

Guided by sound, light, and sacred ritual, you’ll enter a multisensory labyrinth where memory, myth, and meaning twist and dissolve.

Tickets are extremely limited.
Secure your place inside the unknown — before it disappears.

Reviews

Thank you very much for the extraordinary experience of the theater, in their new show. The flower we received at the end of the show symbolized for me the blossoming of a new beginning.
Sara Gindin, 26.11.23
It was one of the craziest experiences. I have no words to explain. Only when I arrived at the old Shaarei Zedek area in Jerusalem, the lights and the setting began to explain to me where I had really arrived... I wish everyone days like I had with the theater.
Shalom Yaakov, 26.11.24

I didn’t expect ALEF — because there’s nothing like it, and there never has been.

It’s a must-experience for anyone who values theater and philosophy.

A free, unbound journey, evoking the feeling of a living museum that peers into different universes.

Ronen Weiss, 9.4.25
