Under the Sun
The radical concert series “Deluziot” returns to HaZira for two intense days of performances that emerge from the underground and take the theater stage.
This time, each of the artists find their own way to directly confront the gap between the hardship and despair of life in this place, and the poetics hiding within it. This contradicting reality, of which a new horrifying facet is revealed every day, sometimes seems as if it appeared out of the blue. But perhaps, in truth, it has always been this way: What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. The illusion, which seems to have been born thousands of years ago, that one day life here will be bright, continues to shatter again and again, accompanied each time by a different grotesque pyrotechnics. But miraculously, Jerusalem holds an ancient expertise of remaining in an ongoing state of suffering, while waiting for the spectacle of redemption. The preoccupation of the artists who live here with the weight of life itself, and the conflict that this place carries as a genetic code at least a millennium old, gave birth to music that bleeds, cries, spits and seeps a poison that pulsates in their bodies as an existential state. The clash between life and creation brought forth a poetics of fracture and outcry.
Wednesday is a night of fracture:
Cadaver Eyes (Eran Sachs and David Opp.) will present “Autumn Descends / The Road Extends,” fragments of an ongoing collaboration with HaZira, assembled into a record and a performance that hails from a shattered reality to a sensory overload.
Shaul Kohn & Ron Sheskin will play on the broken shards of the amplifiers that Cadaver Eyes leave behind, performing CPR on them by means of double-guitar feedback.
Thursday is a night of outcry:
Tomer Damsky & the Quantum Choir will present the new and ambitious project “Sunken Sun, Suken Soul,” which deconstructs and reconstructs Hebrew folk songs of despair from the archive, and gives voice to the local cry of anguish across the generations.
Marco Milevski Tomasin will offer a glimpse into the development process of OrgaDoom, an electro-acoustic instrument that simulates the sound of a doomsday horn.
Muhammad Cheeta (Sachi Piro & Uri Crystal) will bury us all under a barrage of industrial-noise cries from the inferno of everyday life.
