Inna Eizenberg is an Israeli based novelist, playwright, editor and dramaturg.

After years of writing and editing for Israeli and international magazines and websites (The Jerusalem Post, Playbuzz, etc), she now works as an independent writer and editor and reads in English and Russian for Keter Books.

​

Her debut novel, Everything is Easy, was published in November 2017 by Keter Books. For this novel, Eizenberg became laureate of The Ministry of Culture Award for 2017.

Her second novel, Via Negativa, was published by Keter Books in March 2020.

​

Inna Eizenberg's first play was an adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's eternal Master and Margarita, centering on Margo and her political awakening. She then moved on to her MFA project - Free People, directed by Dana Etgar, a play that explored the future of mankind in a world where procreation is lethal for the mothers.

 

Her next play was My Book of Faces, a piece of contemporary theater that transformed Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre into Facebook avatars, while exploring issues of loyalty and monogamy, personal and political. The play won the Dov Gurfong Grant for New Writing in 2012 and was granted Best Play Award for its premiere at Acco Fringe Theater Festival in 2013, directed by Nohar Lazarovich. Since then the play was translated into the English, Italian, French and German languages and read on stage in London, Florence, Paris, Lille, Vienna and Berlin.

 

Next came Sit Boy Sit, a play that stared long and deep into the eyes of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian civilians, focusing on arrests of minors. The play features verbatim court protocols concerning Palestinian minors and hyper realistic dialogue concerning Israeli teenagers preparing to visit the death camps in Poland. The production was granted funding by The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and premiered at an Amnesty International convention in Jerusalem, directed by Ari Remez.

​

In 2017, Inna Eizenberg collaborated with theater director Dana Etgar and performance artist Rotem Volk to create the multidisciplinary performance The Head Comes Last. The performance explores the mysteries of the human womb as part of a rational organism. It tracks patriarchy back to its sources and dives, head first, into the Israeli architype of the soldier's mother.

​

In 2019 Inna Eizenberg wrote Lack of Public Interest. The play tells the story of a major theater director and activist who suddenly slips into a coma. Many activist artists follow while his friends and family struggle with the idea that he might have done so as a way of protest against the occupation. The media's pushy involvement creates narrative after narrative, pushing the public further and further away from the truth. The play premiered at Acco Fringe Theater Festival in 2019, winning its director, Matan Amsalem, the Directing Award.

​

Upon graduating from Tel Aviv University and receiving her MFA in Dramaturgy in 2012, Inna Eizenberg began her work as production dramaturge. She collaborates with directors, writers, site-specific performance makers and choreographers in Israel and the UK on various plays and performative events. These include plays such as Someone Will Die In The End by Maor Zaguri at Habima National Theater, The Sexual Neuroses Of Our Parents by Lukas Barfus at Tel Aviv University Theater and Tmuna Theater and The Legs Are Showing by Anat Zauberman at Teatronetto Festival and Habima, dance performances such as In The Middle With You by Hagit Yakira at Laban Trinity London and immersive performance events such as Shopping List (collaboration with Rotem Volk) in a Jerusalem supermarket, as well as many others.
