When Rotem Nachmany learned that endometriosis was preventing her from getting pregnant naturally and that she’d need to undergo fertility treatments, her spirit and sense of self shattered. For a year, Nachmany slipped into a deep depression, contemplating her damaged self-image as a woman.The Israeli actor/playwright began channeling her emotions and feelings onto paper.
“The bathroom is protection from the environment, from the world,” says Nachmany. “There I could cry and break down during a family meal or on holidays. Ironically it is a hiding place where I can stop hiding. I also spent time in the bathroom urinating on a pregnancy test stick, wishing every time to see two lines. So, it’s a place to despair and hope.”
For the show in Houston, Nachmany has enlisted the help of translators Maurice Rosenthal and Meir Bar-Giora so that audiences can experience the show in English. “It is a great honor for me to come to Houston with my show”, says Nachmany. “It wasn’t obvious to me that a play about female organs and fertility would be so widely embraced and receive more and more platforms, but I am proud of it and happy about it.
