The Child Dreams
In Haaretz Magazine of Friday, December 25th, I did find a long, interesting article written by Doron Halutz about the composer Gil Shohat. Living in Jaffo with his partner Brian, the 36 years old Gil is the most prominent name on the classical music scene in Israel today. “This days he is working hard on a new ambitious composition for the Israeli Opera: The Child Dreams, directed by Omri Nitzan and based on a most poetic and lyric play by the late Hanoch Levin.” The NIS 7 million production of The Child Dreams, joined by dancers, acrobats, actors, a choir of nine female singers and dozen musicians, is conducted by David Stern. The premiere wil be on January 18th at the Israeli Opera (The TAPAC Center).

(a comment by Michal, put online by Tel Aviv Fever because of technical stuff… )
In front of the theater caught my eye an impressive installation by Gottfried Helwein called SELEKTION in memory of the Kristallnacht in 1938. It is the first time presented in Israel. The first time was in 1988, Cologne, Germany.
It was a 100m wall with large images of christian, jewish and handicapped children’s faces. In the second night after the opening in Cologne, unknown people cut all the throats of the children on the pictures. This is presented in Israel as a memorial.
Michal did send two nice pictures, but it is not possible to put these in a comment. Sorry!
Go there and look for yourself!
