Habima Theater (Hebrew: "the stage") in Tel Aviv is Israel's national theater and it is one of the first Hebrew theaters.


The company was founded in 1918 by Nahum Zemach in Moscow under the auspices of the Moscow Art Theatre, with patronage from Stanislavski. In 1926 the theatre left the Soviet Union and toured several years before coming to Tel Aviv in 1931. The image of actress Hana Rovina starring as Leah'le in the historical Habima production of S. Ansky's The Dybbuk (performed by Habima in the Hebrew-language translation by Hayyim Nahman Bialik) is a cultural icon that to many represents Jewish and Israeli theater.


Since 1958 Habima has been considered the national theater of Israel. Habima employs 80 actors and another 120 work at the complex. The current general director of the theater is Yaakov Agmon.

Hanna Rovina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (397 words)
She joined the Habima theater in 1917 just as it was being launched, and participated in its first production, a play by Yevgeny Vakhtangov.
She quickly became a symbol of the emergent Hebrew theater, and especially of HaBima, which became the flagship of the new national theater movement.
For many years, the icon representing HaBima was a young girl in a white nightdress with two long tresses: Rovina in her role as Leah'le.
