Amos Mokadi, an artist and a peace activist, is the author of the trilogy "Life of a Prophet" (about the Biblical prophet, Amos) and of the non-fiction "Toward a New Jewish Paradigm."
Mokadi comes from a family that has contributed a great deal to Israel's economy and cultural life. His father – who, among other achievements, became the painter Yehoshua Brandstatter – and his mother, Margot Klausner, who founded the Israeli Society of Parapsycholgy – together brought to Israel (then Palestine) the Habima theatrical troupe, Israel's National Theatre, and then founded and ran together the Herzliya Film Studios.
Most of Mokadi's work has been in the theatre and in
film-making
in England and in Israel. Recently, his work leaned more and more toward writing, predominantly books, fiction and non-fiction, as well as translations, adaptations, poetry and original plays.
New! Mokadi's fourfold project, The Tempest, comprising:
- A Hebrew translation of the complete play.
- An adaptation for three performers as presented in Kol Hamusika Festival, Kfar Blum, 2006.
- The DVD of that Israeli-Palestinian production – enclosed (Also in YouTube, with English subtitles).
- Essays.
