Lost Relatives

"The central theme of Nava Semel's LOST RELATIVES is memory - a memory that speaks through painful recollections and through the traumas the two refugee families lived through. The play draws on the life of the writer Nava Semel; it is the story of immigrants trying to make a place for themselves in a new country without losing who they are. As we have known since antiquity, the art of storytelling was also the art of healing, and we see that in LOST RELATIVES: the life story of these two families, a story that makes healing, forgiveness and peace with the past possible." (Mihaela Panainte, director)
