Israeli Actress Reflects on Career, Family, and Personal Growth Amid Artistic Life
An Israeli actress shared insights into her personal and professional life ahead of attending her partner Andres Gorbich's solo art exhibition in Tel Aviv's Hanina Gallery, showcasing paintings he has worked on for six years. She expressed pride in his work and described their morning routine of drinking two macchiatos together in bed.
Currently, she stars in the lead role of "The Girl from the Post," a stage adaptation of Stefan Zweig's novel at Habima Theater, directed by Hanan Shnir. She is also developing her own screen project in its early stages. She revealed a deep affection for cats, owning two, and often intervening in neighborhood cat fights.
The actress credited her partner for encouraging her to face life's challenges, helping her overcome procrastination. She wishes she had the superpower to heal people instantly, as she sees loved ones around her becoming increasingly ill. Despite being an actress, she admitted she cannot lie convincingly in real life.
She reminisced about her childhood innocence in Tel Aviv and expressed a strong desire to remain living in Israel, despite having lived in New York as a dancer. She values simple pleasures like coffee, flowers, and quality meat, and strives to appreciate her body despite insecurities.
She feels guilt for not being in Israel during her father's battle with cancer, who passed away when she was 22, but cherishes the memories of their time together. Her greatest achievement is the close relationships with family and friends, especially her partner Andres, whom she met in New York and credits with bringing her back to Israel.
The actress admitted to living with anxiety and fears, particularly about the ongoing violence and pessimism in Israel. Her happiest moment was her wedding day in October at Jaffa Theater, surrounded by loved ones. She deeply misses her late father and considers her mother her most precious asset. Influential artists in her life include Georges Perec, David Lynch, Billie Holiday, and Pina Bausch. If not an actress, she would pursue interior design in some form.
