Hagashas Hachiver
Hagashash Hachiver הגשש החיוור (lit. "The Pale Tracer") are an
Israeli comedy group. Often called "Hagashashim", they are considered as classic master piece of Israeli entertainment.
The Gashash features many stage comedy shows, as well as short funny act - each one of them became a classic ("The Drafted Car", "The judge and the referee", "Kreker vs Kreker" etc). They also feature comedy Israeli movies, which became major hits.
The best known film they participated was Givat Halfon Eina Ona, a good-hearted satire movie on the IDF which tells the story of a weird reserves company, watching on the Egyptian border. Characters such as the Romanian combinator Serjio Constanza, the Egyptian-born Mr Hason and the huge cook Yusifon became a classic.
Members of the Gashash:
- Shaike Levi.
- Yisrael Poliakov.
- Gavri Banai.
The Gashash won Israel's Prize for life achievement:
- The Hagashash Hahiver trio, Israel's leading modern folklore comedy performers also received a prize for life achievement. The Hagashash trio is Israel's most popular trio of comedians, thanks to its creation of a new language which has successfully combined Biblical language with Israeli slang. Some of Israel's greatest authors and playwrights, including the late Nissim Aloni, prepared material for the trio. (1)
