Yuval Rozman (Hebrew: יובל רוזמן; born 1984) is an Israeli actor, playwright, director, and theatre director, living in France.

Youth and arrival to France

[edit]

Rozman was born in 1984 in Tel Aviv[1] into a left-wing religious Jewish family.[2] He wrote his first play at the age of 18.[2] Yuval Rozman trained at the Tel Aviv Conservatory. He deserted the Israeli army during his military service while deployed in Gaza.[2][3] His 2010 play, Cabaret Voltaire, featuring Palestinian actor Mohammad Bakri, received numerous awards in Israel.[4] He was opposed to Benjamin Netanyahu's policies and expressed this in his plays.[2] In 2012, he decided to leave Israel for France.[2]

Career

[edit]

His plays focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the issue of homosexuality, among other topics, but are not limited to these themes. In 2017, he presented Tunnel Boring Machine,[1][5] a comedy exploring the journey of a Palestinian and an Israeli in the Gaza tunnels.[6] On 26 November 2019, he visited the Valenciennes hospital center to read his texts[7] and engage with patients.[8]

In 2018, he directed HATE with Lætitia Dosch.[9][10][11] In 2020, Yuval Rozman directed The Jewish Hour, a reflection on Jewish identity.[2][12] The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the project,[13] but he still won the Impatience Prize.[14][15] Regarding this play, he stated, "It was in France that I discovered I was Jewish".[16]

After the start of the Gaza war, a performance of The Jewish Hour was canceled following the 2023 Brussels shooting. Speaking about the war, Yuval Rozman said in the media:[17] "On one hand, of course, condemn Hamas, terrorism, and all its horrors directed not against the Israeli people, but against Jews, and at the same time, acknowledge that there is a responsibility of the Israeli government, that there is still an occupation, Israeli war crimes". In 2023, he presented a new play, Ahouvi, about the romantic relationship between an Israeli woman and a Frenchman.[18][19][20]
