Colorful shows that combine theater and history. Napoleon Bonaparte, the French ruler who failed to conquer Acre goes to look for his hat which was thrown between the walls, to his retreat from the walls of Acre, “If I didn’t succeed in conquering Acre – at least my hat will make history!” he called. During the tour, Napoleon passionately leads the audience through the Ottoman era like a time tunnel, to an encounter with Crusader knights and from there to an encounter with Ahmed al-Jazar and Salah al-Din, a theatrical tourist tour in which the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, and ancient Acre and its heroes are resurrected into an unforgettable experience.
