McDonald Masada – Don Quixote and a ukulele
Don Quixote armed with a ukulele – Eitan Ullman, an enigmatic protest singer, embarks on a musical crusade to defend authentic Israeli culture against the twin ravages of consumerism and populism. With a spontaneous cast of musicians and self-deprecating humour, Ullman’s voyage across the Israeli landscape culminates in a grand concert at the ancient site of Masada.
Through the journey, Ullman’s dream of bringing about great change with his musical message begins to crack. Has he been tilting at windmills? Told through music and chance encounters, McDonald Masada is an understated and insightful observation of contemporary Israeli society and, ultimately, a story about a modern troubadour searching for his voice.
This will be screened at the Drill Hall Theatre, Mullumbimby, on Sunday.
