Habima

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Habima

 or Habimah
(Hebrew; “Stage”)

Hebrew theatre company. Organized in Poland in 1912, it was reestablished in 1917 in Moscow, where it was encouraged by Konstantin Stanislavsky. Habima's production of The Dybbuk (1922) established it as a company of high artistic merit, and it became affiliated with the Moscow Art Theatre. After producing The Golem (1925), the group toured Europe and the U.S. In 1931 most of the group moved to Tel Aviv, where they presented Yiddish and biblical dramas and a repertory of Israeli, classical, and contemporary foreign plays. In 1958 it became the National Theatre of Israel.

O The festival also included the Tel Aviv Opera presenting old Tel Aviv songs, Habima and Gesher Theatre troupes performing in the newly restored Manshia Train Station, a late-night concert at Tzuk Beach, a sunrise party at Alma Beach and live jazz at the old-time Caf in Bialik.
For their production, the ANT seem to have had Natural Man's experimental qualities in mind when hiring as director Benjamin Zemach--a Russian Jewish immigrant renowned as an innovative modern dancer, choreographer and member of the Hebrew-language Habima Theater (which his father had founded in Moscow in 1917).
An analog was to be found in the acting style of the famed Habima generally, and of its star, Hannah Robina, in particular - the grand gesture, the grandiloquent voice.
