Theatre is a medicine that no doctor can prescribe. With interactive theatre performances in academic children’s hospitals, the sickest children and their families experience moments of distraction, fun, relaxation and are culturally and educationally challenged.
Our theatre can be found in several hospitals in Israel:
Shaa’re Tzedek, Alyn, Shalva and Hadassah Ein Karem
Gilat Foundation also gives performances in Netherlands at the following hospitals:
Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital / Princess Maxima Centre / Emma Children’s Hospital / Juliana Children’s Hospital / Sophia Children’s Hospital / Beatrix Children’s Hospital / Willem Alexander Children’s Hospital
With interactive theatre shows in academic children’s hospitals, the sickest children experience moments of distraction, fun, relaxation and are culturally and educationally challenged.
The Gilat Foundation’s interactive theatre shows literally take sick children out of their social isolation and out of the often sterile hospital room. Children look forward to what is to come (they receive a real ticket in advance) and experience something imaginative that makes the reality of illness and pain temporarily disappear.
Our interactive theatre is also for parents, caregivers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, because they too relax when they see their sick child smiling and completely absorbed in the interactive theatre play.
Yes, I want sick children to experience moments of distraction, fun and relaxation together with their families.
