*Wounds Are Forever (Self-Portrait as a National Poet)* by Sivan Ben Yishai

“What do you do when the fresh blood flowing from the wounds of the past
becomes the ink with which the story—which begins in parallel
with it—is written?”
Sivan Ben Yishai (the main character and author), born in Tel Aviv, travels through time
and flees from one catastrophe, only to end up in another. She
attempts to understand her
own existence.
We look at a moment, examine it closely, and endure it:
Sivan, who has survived the war and her flight, finally arrives on safe
ground in Palestine. And then? It is the moment when the trauma of an entire generation was exploited to justify inhuman acts.
Wounds are forever. Or can we pause briefly and examine as many details as possible together to understand the incomprehensible?

JUSTICE should be the foundation of every system, every relationship;
anything else makes no sense, is inhumane, and destroys
the very basis of our existence. But what are we talking about when we talk about justice,
and who gets to speak? Is justice a visionary
utopia, an empty buzzword, or rather a matter of interpretation that can be exploited?
Based on these questions, the five graduates of the
directing program discuss what they believe should be told on this topic.
