“The Children’s Theatre by the Kindergarten Teachers Center,” that was founded in 1928, was the first Hebrew repertory theatre exclusively addressing the audience of children attending kindergarten and the first grades of elementary school. This article explores how The Children’s Theater conveyed a set of performative practices that consolidated a habitus of Eretz-Israeli childhood. The theater articulated the embodied repertoire of Eretz-Israeli childhood and established it on two pillars. First, it epitomized the concept of an innocent and secure childhood. The world performed on the stage created a utopian notion of childhood. Second, it encouraged the children to participate in the world of adults, but in a way suited to their age and psychological needs. The ability of this theatre to create an enriching and a secure environment for children was deeply needed in the Jewish settlement of Palestine of the 1930’s and 1940’s, which was constituted of immigrants struggling to build a future in the land.

成立于1928年的“幼儿园教师中心的儿童剧院”是首个希伯来语曲目库，专门针对幼儿园和小学一年级的孩子们。本文探讨了儿童剧院如何传达一系列表演实践，巩固了埃雷茨-以色列童年时代的习惯。剧院明确表达了埃雷茨-以色列童年时期的剧目，并将其建立在两个支柱上。首先，它体现了无辜和安全的童年概念。在舞台上表演的世界创造了童年的乌托邦概念。其次，它鼓励儿童参加成年人的世界，但要以适合他们年龄和心理需求的方式。
