Speeches Against Despair
Words that offer strength and hope
Concept and Direction: Guri Alfi & Eli Haviv
Participating Artists: Noa Koler, Galit Hoogi, Norman Issa, Noga Erez, Maya Landsmann, and Michael Ensemble
There are moments in life when we need words. Wise, profound, inspiring words.
Great words from the past that can help us traverse a very dramatic present.
Guri Alfi and Eli Haviv will host a dream team of performers providing their interpretation of great historical speeches, from a range of times and places in the world. One by one they will take to the Jerusalem Theatre's big stage, prepared with sincere intentions and polished words. Each of them will give their personal touch to those great words, creating an inspiring hybrid of powerful speeches and one-off original performances. In between, Guri and Eli will make sure to jab at the oratorical pathos.
At the end of the evening, a bridge of words will be built between then and now, leaving us a bit more optimistic. That's our hope, at least.
