Using storytelling, stand-up and mockumentary, 'Thank-you for flying Hell Al' is a hilarious comedy on Israel and the experience of making Aliyah.
Through a multitude of theatrical portraits, it uniquely showcases different Anglo, Russian, French, Arab and Israeli voices around migration and living in Israel as newcomers. The show counter-points a range of monologues between landlords, tax drivers, real-estate agents, government officials and arriving at Ben Gurion airport.
