Score

"I always found it difficult to talk, in my work and through my aesthetic, about my country and my roots in a way that is enough inspiring and powerful for me. The commission of “les Subsistances” in Lyon for the festival “ça tchatche” appealed to me straight away as I am very attached to sound and musical research. I thought it would be interesting to go to Israel to collect sound bites, pieces of languages and life that characterise this particular place.

Being confronted with English, Arabic, Yiddish, and of course Hebrew, obviously shape our way of being and our growing up in Israel, our everyday reality and the way we live and communicate. It also shaped my physicality, my approach to the body, and my relations to others and to space. When i watch my work, I can see that the concepts of borders, of claiming the right to be on a certain place, of looking for and proving the right to be there, are incorporated into my body language and the way I compose my pieces. 

In Israel, the concept of time is very different to the one in Europe : one can feel that there are very strong energies, contradictory ones, a really strong sense of urgency, of survival, which are not yet processed, and are staying in a suspended state.
One can notice that in the way people talk, move, and communicate.
I decided then to elaborate this piece throughout the questioning about the mechanism of the relation between people who live there, and was as well inspired to transpose on stage their vital and surviving energy.

Score was composed as a mosaic, a metaphor of the richness and the complexity of this country and with the need to express a wish for another reality."

       - He started «présentations de saisons» in pictures.
