I will talk to you. I will talk to you.

“For two hours I was happy… I felt comforted by the wonderful sounds from the stage” (Neri Livne, Haaretz supplement 19.7.24).

Hebrew. Arabic.
How close and similar, but in the sound of the syllable so far and different. A project of love songs – Hebrew and Arabic – in a way that has never been heard before. The Hebrew songs – will be sung in Arabic, while the Arabic songs – will be sung in Hebrew. Thus, through translation into the other language, we will come closer and farther away, move between the familiar and the strange, hear our love songs differently and create a common dialogue.
A musical evening about love, language, and the people between them.
The show was created by the Revolution Orchestra in collaboration with Beit HaGefen – an Arab-Jewish cultural center.
