**Yuval Rozman** (Hebrew: יובל רוזמן; born 1984) is an Israeli actor, playwright, director, and theatre director, living in France.

## Youth and arrival to France

Rozman was born in 1984 in [Tel Aviv](/source/Tel_Aviv)[1] into a left-wing religious Jewish family.[2] He wrote his first play at the age of 18.[2] Yuval Rozman trained at the Tel Aviv Conservatory. He deserted the [Israeli army](/source/Israeli_Ground_Forces) during his military service while deployed in [Gaza](/source/Gaza_Strip).[2][3] His 2010 play, *Cabaret Voltaire*, featuring Palestinian actor [Mohammad Bakri](/source/Mohammad_Bakri), received numerous awards in Israel.[4] He was opposed to [Benjamin Netanyahu](/source/Benjamin_Netanyahu)'s policies and expressed this in his plays.[2] In 2012, he decided to leave Israel for France.[2]

## Career

His plays focus on the [Israeli–Palestinian conflict](/source/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict) and the issue of homosexuality, among other topics, but are not limited to these themes. In 2017 he presented *Tunnel Boring Machine*,[1][5] a comedy exploring the journey of a Palestinian and an Israeli in the [Gaza tunnels](/source/Gaza_Strip_smuggling_tunnels).[6] On 26 November 2019 he visited the [Valenciennes](/source/Valenciennes) hospital center to read his texts[7] and engage with patients.[8]

In 2018 he directed *HATE* with [Lætitia Dosch](/source/Laetitia_Dosch).[9][10][11] In 2020, Yuval Rozman directed *The Jewish Hour*, a reflection on Jewish identity.[2][12] The [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) impacted the project,[13] but he still won the Impatience Prize.[14][15] Regarding this play, he stated, "It was in France that I discovered I was Jewish".[16]

After the start of the [Gaza war](/source/Gaza_war), a performance of *The Jewish Hour* was canceled following the [2023 Brussels shooting](/source/2023_Brussels_shooting). Speaking about the war, Yuval Rozman said in the media:[17] "On one hand, of course, condemn [Hamas](/source/Hamas), terrorism, and all its horrors directed not against the Israeli people, but against Jews, and at the same time, acknowledge that there is a responsibility of the Israeli government, that there is still an occupation, Israeli war crimes". In 2023, he presented a new play, *Ahouvi*, about the romantic relationship between an Israeli woman and a Frenchman.[18][19][20]
