مرتاحة؟ | حيفا

A wife casually tells her husband that her lover will be visiting that afternoon. He responds with unsettling indifference. What begins as a seemingly straightforward tale of marital infidelity gradually unfolds into an enigmatic game in which roles shift and certainties dissolve.

Who is controlling the game, and who is being controlled? Inside the couple’s home, a private world emerges, governed by rules of its own, where desire collides with control and intimacy becomes entangled with power. Beneath the play’s razor-sharp comedy and biting dialogue lies a troubling question: Is this simply a game whose rules everyone has agreed to, or is reality itself being rewritten?
