You won’t find anyone more expert or better than us when it comes to moving. We pass by. We are here only for a moment. We are here only for the night.
We are moving, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, even at home, even at home, we are moving. Just for a night, for one night.
Because to move is to be and to be is to move and to move is our specialty. It is the tradition. No, no, not a tradition, it's a secret. No, not a secret. Our verdict!
(from Kamina y Torna- Moshe Efrati 1991)
The last few years here have been difficult to predict, a never-ending jolt between being or ceasing, staying or leaving, hoping or giving up. A journey that leaves us all with marks.
In his new work “Song Bird,” Yoram Karmi folds the timeline, bringing together distant points — historical, geographical and emotional — into a single space of movement, body and sound, exciting, conquering and, above all, from here.
As a descendant of a family of exiles from Spain, Carmi returns to the ancient sounds and songs in the Ladino language that he absorbed in childhood from his parents and parents, who immigrated to the country, putting them in front of a contemporary and sometimes dystopian sound.
