Noga welcomes us with open arms in her bedroom, her protected space, and relates…
The singer-actress weaves an intimate relationship between her personal story and millennia-old poems, the psalms of David. She invites her trio into her narrative and
we find ourselves immersed into the heart of a polyphonic journey that blends theater and music, spoken word and song lyrics, each tune in Hebrew that allows for the emergence of memories linked to language and culture, memories that she evokes in French. In the course of Noga’s thoughts, we navigate in her “little” story, which somehow joins our own and collides the “big” story across time and countries, at
the crossroads of identities and dialects/languages/cultures.
Sounds, voices and instruments mingle for a sensory and emancipatory experience, shifting between Switzerland, Israel, Germany and Moldavia — in a music that lies at the heart of our own time and echoes with everlasting sounds.
