I Shall Speak to You

Hebrew. Arabic.
So close and alike, yet so remote and different.
Introducing an innovative project of Hebrew and Arabic love songs in an unprecedented venture in these unprecedented times. Israeli iconic songs translated and performed in Arabic for the very first time, and Arab renowned and beloved songs – in Hebrew.
Brought by a mixed Arab-Jewish cast, it is a captivating celebration of music, love, language, and the people between them.
A musical evening about love, language, and the people between them.
Produced in collaboration with Beit HaGefen Arab-Jewish Culture Center, honoring the 60th anniversary of the center, and with the support of the Pais Arts and Culture Council.
