My Jerusalem is a solo performance derived from a song. A politically charged tale of a drunken one-night-stand, infused with stories of growing up in the political turmoil of 80’s Israel. The show has evoked strong emotions and reactions, with Avital being labelled both an ‘Israel hating antisemite’ and a ‘zionist racist’.

The show contains swearing and references to sexual abuse.
