Paper Dolls: Modern Plays

Autor Philip Himberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2013
"You know, Yossi, we couldn't dress like this in the Philippines. wear earrings, dye our hair, put on make up, lipstick. It's forbidden."In Tel Aviv, Israel, a group of Filipino immigrants work as live-in carers for elderly Orthodox Jewish men. Six days a week they provide dedicated support to their employers. But on the seventh day they transform into a homespun, sassy musical drag act. Meet the Paper Dolls!An extraordinary true story exploring an unlikely collision of cultures and the universal desire to find 'home'.Based on Tomer Heymann's award-winning documentary of the same name, Paper Dolls explores changing patterns of global immigration and expanding notions of family through the prism of a community of Filipino transvestites who live illegally in Israel.

Recenzii

It has a generosity of spirit that proves raucously beguiling
It's a curious confection: part surprising study of cultural contrasts, part affectionate portrait of the world of the drag queen, and part exploration of some knotty ideas about homeland and identity . . . big-hearted . . . ends on an emphatically feel-good note.
A pacey but poignant play
Philip Himberg tells a remarkable tale of strangers in a troubled land, of makeshift family and unexpected tenderness
Beautiful . both achingly intimate and rich in universal themes
