Good Luck (2025)

In Good Luck, the history of the Zionist project and its attendant violences is taken up alongside the historical parameters of Jewish trauma and grief.  Through a playfully sadistic appropriation of Israeli cultural fetishes—anthems, folk dances, and food objects—the piece centres daily embodied rituals central to a nation’s identity. Performed solo by Amit Noy, Good Luck takes up these instruments to tell the story of the state as both a purported haven of safety and a perpetrator of crimes against humanity. The title is a response to an urban myth about an Israeli child, who, when asked to write a letter to Anne Frank by their schoolteacher, wrote simply, “Good luck in the Holocaust.”

Good Luck premieres July 3rd and 4th, 2025 at Festival Montpellier Danse.
