The Schaubühne in Berlin and the Habima National Theatre in Tel Aviv first became acquainted at the FIND 7 festival at the Schaubühne in 2007, which showcased two plays by the Israeli director and playwright Yael Ronen. A short time later, the theatres collaborated on a successful co-production titled "Third Generation". The Habima, founded in Moscow in 1919 and established in Israel in 1928, is the best-attended theatre in Israel with over 300,000 subscribers and holds 1,300 performances around the country each year. Following guest performances of plays about the Holocaust and two workshops titled "Our Way of Living", Yael Ronen and a team of German, Israeli and Palestinian actors will develop a piece based on science fiction and religion which will be shown in Germany and Israel.
