Bat Shel Aba (Daddy’s Girl), a personal theater piece by actress Neta Shpigelman, will be staged at Tmuna Theater on November 10 and again on December 15. The show is on the shortlist for the 2026 Golden Hedgehog award.
Shpigelman’s father was a legendary journalist at Israel’s Channel 1 who saw his work as a mission. His own father was a hero killed around the time the state was founded. Shpigelman spent five months at her father’s side in an oncology ward, a period that became the sweetest chapter of their relationship.
The piece is set in a television studio and draws on her memories of the Israel Broadcasting Authority. On stage she talks with recorded interviews of her father, settles scores with the teenager she once was, plays the poet Yona Wallach and shares family photos and personal emails.
It is an original production of the Tmuna ensemble, made together with the Israel Festival.
