Dear Deer

Every day of the festival, at the Clipa Theater Bar, before the main show begins, Zvi (Hebrew word for Deer) warms up the audience, juggles with the drinks and kick-starts the food in a variety of bizarre characters.

The Dear Deer is a completely different deer every day, adapting to its natural habitat, according to the native country of the group performing that day.

The typical Israeli Deer will sing Israeli folk music when the Israeli groups perform, Giorgio the charlatan charmer deer will accompany the Italian Group, Slippery Gustav will mix cool drinks for the Finish group, a mysterious character will accompany the Japanese performers and finally – the dear deer will go back to its origins when the Russian group arrives. 

Creator, performer, writer, player, baker and bar-deer: Zvi Patrovsky.
