SILENCE MAKES PERFECT
Created and Performed by Yael Rasooly and Amit Dolberg
A requiem for a naive world stolen from a child, a concerto for the re-claiming of a woman’s voice and life flame.
These are the two chapters making up this visual
theatre and musical performance, that begins in
the aftermath of great violence, and transforms
into a force and truth that can not be silenced any longer.
A collaboration between director, puppeteer and singer
Yael Rasooly, and pianist and artistic director for
Meitar Ensemble, Amit Dolberg.
