life and work

Noam Brusilovsky was born in Israel in 1989. In 2007 he graduated from Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts in Giv'atajim . He moved to Berlin in 2012, where he completed his degree in theater directing at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Art in 2018 .

In 2017 he directed the radio play Broken German for SWR . The premiere of his diploma production "Orchiectomy right" in the Berlin bat studio theater was in December 2017.

Individual works

In the play How You Can Recognize a Jew , Brusilovsky plays with clichés about Jews . There is no continuous plot, but rather Jewish actors whose similarities and differences are discussed. In contrast to established ideas about Jews, their diversity should be shown. Brusilovsky has selected only good-looking Jewish actors and uses Nazi propaganda texts in contrast , in which Jews do not do so well. In the play the sentence occurs repeatedly: "There is still no normality!"

Brusilovsky's radio play Broken German is based on the novel of the same name by Tomer Gardi . In it, an Israeli man reports in broken German about a trip to Berlin, about a mistake in a suitcase at the airport, about memories of Romania, which was occupied by the National Socialists in World War II , and about absurd events. In the radio play, the protagonists can be heard partly from the studio and partly from the tape. The jury discussion on the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize 2016 about the novel also occurs. Fiction and reality become blurred and can no longer be separated.

Awards

Brusilovsky was awarded the ARD German Radio Play Prize in 2017 for Broken German . The jury's reasoning stated: “Noam Brusilovsky's adaptation not only strengthens Tomer Gardi's novel, but also turns it into an independent work of art that is only possible in the acoustic. [...] Gardi and Brusilovsky formulate a language that is a compelling challenge for society as well as for the radio audience: In other words: 'Broken German' has to be heard. "
