BLOOD MOON BLUES, Yael Ronen's co-author
2022
Premiere: Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin
Elinor is in her mid-50s, has found enlightenment and lives in a cave.
After a call that can be interpreted as an emergency, Luna, Elinor’s daughter, and Gabriella, Elinor’s ex-lover, want to find her. Accompanied by Greg, Elinor’s 20-year-old lover, they cross the dangerous Dead Sea desert and plunge into an ocean of hurt feelings. Due to her bipolar disorder, Elinor seems to have failed all-around as a person, a partner, and a mother. Now she has cancer in its final stage. She has just enough time to celebrate a full moon ceremony and to bequeath her tangled manuscripts.
