The setting is a comedy club in a small Israeli town. An audience that has
come expecting an evening of amusement instead sees a comedian falling
apart on stage; an act of disintegration, a man crumbling, as a matter of
choice, before their eyes. They could get up and leave, or boo and whistle and
drive him from the stage, if they were not so drawn to glimpse his personal
hell.
Dovaleh G, a veteran stand-up comic – charming, erratic, repellent –
exposes a wound he has been living with for years: a fateful and gruesome
choice he had to make between the two people who were dearest to him.
A Horse Walks into a Bar is a shocking and breathtaking read. Betrayals
between lovers, the treachery of friends, guilt demanding redress.
Flaying alive both himself and the people watching him, Dovaleh G provokes both
revulsion and empathy from an audience that doesn’t know whether to laugh
or cry – and all this in the presence of a former childhood friend who is trying
to understand why he’s been summoned to this performance.
