Abstract

This article examines Mizrahi theater artists who portray the little-known history of Middle Eastern Jews to Israeli youth, focusing on two productions: Palms and Dreams (1983) and Scapegoat (1987), both of which are based on well-known novels about the immigration of Iraqi Jews to Israel. In ‘performing history,’ these plays shape an assertive Mizrahi image and a Mizrahi historical narrative that contests the Orientalism of the Israeli education system. In addition, although both plays convey the Mizrahi narrative to a youth audience, compared to similar plays aimed at adults, they are conservative in their adherence to the conventional Zionist narrative.

以色列青年剧院

本文考察了米兹拉希的戏剧艺术家，他们向以色列青年描绘了鲜为人知的中东犹太人的历史，重点关注两部作品:《棕榈与梦》(1983)和《替罪羊》(1987)，这两部作品都是根据著名的关于伊拉克犹太人移民到以色列的小说改编的。在“表演历史”中，这些戏剧塑造了一个自信的米兹拉希形象，以及一种与以色列教育体系的东方主义相抗衡的米兹拉希历史叙事。此外，虽然两部戏剧都将米兹拉希的叙事传达给了年轻观众，但与针对成年人的同类戏剧相比，它们在坚持传统的犹太复国主义叙事方面是保守的。
