Bahr takes us into the colorful world of a Tel Aviv café, only minutes before a suicide bomber enters. Here we are allowed entry into the lives of numerous inhabitants from all strata of Israeli society, as well as its observers and critics: eccentric, lost, hilarious souls whose lives, quirks, and neuroses are channeled through Bahr’s remarkable characterizations and ability to bring humor to even the most dire and tragic of circumstances.

"DAI has a jolt that's undeniable. This is one show you are likely to feel for days afterward."

-- NYTimes

"The remarkable Iris Bahr demonstrates that smarts, talent, and dramatic focus are a potent combination... The lady has more identities and accents than a cloned Meryl Streep... Wickedly funny... The performer is unquestionably one to keep an eye on."

-- Daily News

"Bahr balances pungent humor, bittersweet pathos, and a sublime charm."

-- LA Weekly

"Ms. Bahr is a deft writer and a clever monologist."

-- NPR

"The most effective piece of work I have ever seen. Many works of art give us the emotional reaction but few are capable of the full physical reaction that Iris Bahr was able to capture with DAI."

-- Progressive U

"Bahr understands Israel, and her artistic brilliance is that she can bring us into that understanding in the context of an 80-minute romp in a mythical café."

-- Rabbi Daniel Brenner

" 'There's this solo show at the Culture Project that you have to, I mean you have to see, you can't miss it...' Iris Bahr¹s DAI did not disappoint... A true theatrical gem... Each of Bahr¹s character¹s will make you both laugh and move you to tears, and will also make you wonder where Bahr gets her talent to inhabit these characters to such perfection, the costumes, facial expressions, mimicry, of each and every one of these diverse characters."

-- Yedioth Ahronoth
