The Passion of Monty Python

A show based on the rich archive of the legendary British comedy troupe “Monty Python.” Iconic sketches, brilliant animation clips, and songs from the series “Flying Circus” and the films “And Now for Something Completely Different,” “The Meaning of Life,” “The Holy Grail,” and “Life of Brian” serve as the raw material and foundation for our original pieces and arrangements for orchestra, choir, and actor. The Pythonian DNA of associative and crazed comic thinking, surreal connections between distant worlds, and witty sketches without a clear punchline is reflected in our choice to create “something completely different.” The show is in English with Hebrew subtitles.
