Table: Classwork [השולחן: עבודת כיתה]
Author(s): Naomi Yoeli
Four witnesses are questioned by an investigator about a roundup by the Gestapo, when 1,300 Jews were murdered. The investigator focuses on a technical detail, a table or desk, which may or may not have been there. The witnesses can't agree if there was a table there, or what size it was. The show focuses on the quality of memory, and the hard time German lawmen gave witnesses, demanding they remember objective and trivial details. The show is held in a classroom.
