What does personal fulfillment really look like?
In the middle of living the seemingly perfect life – complete with career, family, and home of her dreams – a woman begins a torrid love affair with an attractive and soon-to-be-married man. In this adult rock cabaret from Israeli superstar and two-time “Israeli Singer of the Year” Keren Peles, a forbidden love affair leads to a deep dive into a woman’s mind, where a battle plays out among her conflicting urges, embodied onstage by multi-talented performers, and desire to break free of societal expectations. Using their mobile devices, the audience becomes an active part of the story and influences the course of the cabaret. April Fools is a sensual and stripped-down musical rendezvous that you’ll definitely want to give in to.
