The Amhara region is in the cool highlands of Ethiopia. There are many wonderful ancient churches and castles in the Amhara region and a long history of famous kings and emperors.

This means that the cows are safely in the barn, and it's time to tell stories.

(Photo by Dina Guna) Jerusalem, 2005. I am at a performance of Teret-Teret: three young Israeli actors of Ethiopian origin are presenting a highly stylized rendition of Ethiopian folk tales in a mixture of Hebrew and Amharic (a Semitic language of Ethiopia). I am very much taken by the images, the text, the music, and, as a “white” Israeli, the novelty of African Israeli actors. The event unmistakably indicates a new nonmainstream theatrical richness and “otherness” within Israeli culture.

Furthermore, since 2002, local theatre companies touring with plays in the Moroccan Jewish dialect—Maghrebi —have been warmly received. At the same time, a variety of singers and [End Page 48] music projects are making use of tunes and languages from the African Jewish diaspora. When asked about this new trend, the singer Kobi Oz responded: “It is not a ‘trend,’ it is a return” ().

In other words, these performers are embracing a previously neglected heritage. In the summer of 2011, when thousands of Israelis took to the streets to demand social justice, several theatre artists signed a petition addressed to the Minister of Culture demanding “theatre justice,” which referred specifically to the silenced heritage of the diaspora: Our subsidized public theatres suffer of too much centralization and single mindedness [, a] lack of competiveness [, and] representing only one socioeconomic group []. The repertoire theatres do not bring to the stage the heritage of Oriental Jews. () I firmly agree with the need expressed by the petition. It is important to make room for a diversity of voices in the theatre, to fill the void that many spectators experience, and, finally, to enrich Israeli theatre by bringing marginalized, diasporic Jewish traditions to the fore. As Arjun Appadurai wrote, “In the postnational world we are seeing emerge, diaspora runs with, and not against, the grain of identity” (1993:803). An integral element of the postmodern condition is the movement of people around the world; often their sense of national identity is stronger and more focused in diaspora.
