Culture | The International Storytelling Festival Givatayim Theatre

The international dinosaur exhibition “Botanizur” has landed in Israel. 45 dinosaurs have settled among the pathways of Jerusalem’s Botanical Gardens, some of them interactive and ready to roar, stick their tongues out and bulge their eyes. One of them is 7m-tall and stands right beside tiny baby dinosaur hatchlings. Visitors can enjoy VR exhibits, ride a virtual dinosaur, explore the tropical greenhouse, splash about in the garden’s stream, take part in art workshops and rest in the relaxation tent.

Helmed by Yossi Alfi, the International Storytelling Festival will be marking its 29 th edition this year during the week of Sukkot. Held in Givatayim Theatre, the festival is a celebration of the myriad of fascinating stories behind the creation of the state of Israel, as told by the country’s great writers and poets, as well as its military heroes and politicians. Among those taking part are former president of Israel Reuven “Ruvi” Rivlin, Israel Prize recipient, composer Nurit Hirsh, Israel Prize recipient, singer Yehoram Gaon, and tens of other major Israeli artists and cultural figures.
