Russian translation available. “Oasis” The year is 1956. Paris, the city of lights, is still recovering from World War II. The war drums seem far away. Noël, a young painter, lives in Montmartre, paints on the banks of the River Seine, and falls in love. He served as a paratrooper, and, like many others his age, he’s been sent to fight Algerian rebels in the Sahara Desert. He isn’t a pacifist, nor a communist, but at war, far from his homeland, he will face moral dilemmas that will confront him with the question: to be or not to be. This is a story about someone who agreed to lose everything in order to save his conscience. “Oasis” received the Award for Best Show at Teatronetto Festival in 2019. • To register visit jewishcleveland.org/arts Presented by the Jewish Federation’s Cleveland Israel Arts Connection a program of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland
